Possibly the most extensive website for downloading shareware and freeware there is.

Run by the gargantuan US technology site CNET, Download.com is the mother of all software freebie sites. The choice of programs to download is almost overwhelming (there are 162 anti-virus packages alone), but the homepage helps you by organising everything into categories, from Business to Games. The goodies are further organised according to the system they'll work on, whether it's Mac, Linux, Windows, Windows Me or Palm. Each program comes with a detailed explanation and a user. You're told the size of the program and if it's shareware you're given all the necessary info about registration fees. The site also lets you know if the program includes an uninstaller.While you're here, take a look at CNET's CatchUp service (www.catchup.com). This software will search your PC for the latest versions of your applications and hardware drivers, and automatically find the appropriate updates online. Download.com is a remarkable library that every web user should bookmark. It's kept up to date and houses just about any bit of software you and your computer could ever need.

Yeah download.com is really good. I download alot of spyware/adware programs from there and most of them are good. Recently, I was trying to find a user-friendly program to burn DVDs with, and download.com found it for me. The site is great!
