Here is the website to download general softwares (Latest Versions) which are available for free like Media players, Web Browsers, PC security & utility softwares, etc. All softwares are classified in to different categories in the home page. Any free software can be downloaded directly from this website. When we click on the software there is a direct link available below the download link. Always use this link for download otherwise a client software will be downloaded first and then links to required software. The main problem from this type of clients is they install adwares in the web browsers which are difficult to remove and they won't appear in control panel. Not only from this site when you install any software just check the adwares and tick off them. Incase if you installed any adwares, scan your PC with SPYBOT & MALWAREBYTES.
