File Archives
The following sites offer public downloading of various files. There are three main file types encountered in this group: Freeware, Shareware, and Public Domain. Freeware is free software (no payment required). Shareware is software you can download, try for a brief period, and then pay (aka "register") to use without restriction. Some shareware programs are limited demos and may offer only a fraction of the entire program.

If you intend to download any file from any of these remote sites, it is strongly suggested you invest in Virus Protection.
