How to Download Software Online Without Breaking the Law

Getting free software does not mean having to resort to piracy. Let's take a look at how you can get free software, safely and legally, with the help of Download.com

Steps

  1. Open your Web browser and head to Download.com. Look for a box labeled the 'Download Software finder'.

  2. Choose your operating system and the type of software you are looking for. In the price box choose the word free. Then click on the 'go' button.
  3. Now, you have been taken to a list of software options. Choose the one you want, and click on the title.
  4. Re-read the description to make sure this is what you really want. Then click on the 'Download' button. This will begin your download. You can then install your program the way you would any other. The exact procedure will vary based on your operating system and version.


Tips

  • Always read the descriptions. Software names do not always do the features justice.
  • Be sure to check the list of operating systems this software works with before you download.
  • You will have a choice between freeware, shareware, adware.


Warnings

  • Be wary of downloading from untested sites, or mirrors. If you find a dead link on Download.com and you want the software go directly to the site of the developer.

Things You'll Need

  • A computer with internet access and the authority to install software.
