Usually software's have a licensed while which tells you about this.

Freeware is free for unlimited usage and time.

Is it illegal to install software on someone elses computer?

In general no it not illegal unless your installing something illegal, like you bought some software and installed it already on your computer. Most software has a legal notice of some kind to let you know how many systems you can use the software on mostly you are only allowed to install it on just one system. Freeware or shareware on the other hand can be installed on as many computers as you want.


What is best internet TV software?

First things first... there are 100s if not 1000s of 3rd party free (freeware) and paid (shareware) Internet TV software (or whatever name applies) out there. Ask yourself what type of channels and shows do you really want to watch - favorite sports, sitcoms/episodes, uncensored TV, movies, etc. If you know already what you want, then search the Internet for PC satellite tv, internet tv, or some other search term. Read reviews to find all the popular Internet TV software services and compare them. Stay away from freeware because they don't offer real value and perks. You want the complete package such as tech support, software upgrades, channel updates, and bonuses. It's easy to recommend a software without knowing where your interest lie and not knowing your computer OS - but that would be a mistake. Sometimes a top leading brand isn't the answer, and keep in mind that any Internet TV software whether freeware or shareware can experience a rare crash on your computer. Therefore, be sure to find an Internet TV software service that uses Clickbank, Plimus, PayPal, or some other highly reputable payment processor that offers an iron-clad money back guarantee.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of freeware and shareware?

The advantage of freeware and shareware is that it is free. It is possible to get some very good programs that way. Such programs include firefox and gmail. The disadvantages are that some programs that come that way come with computer viruses and Trojan horses. They infect your computer and take it over. They steal your credit card information. There is a lot of false information on the internet. It will cost money to have a virus removed from this particular computer! The voice of experience speaks.

What is the most popular software download sites?

none. It's much better to get a good anti-virus program (like AVG-Free Edition) The free software download site I use the most is zdnet.com. There is also freedownloads.com and tucows.com. They are all great sites for good free software. There are certain sites out there such as freewarebb.com that carefully decides what downloads should be listed and which should not. We go even further than just making sure downloads are virus free, we check the developers website too which I know most other download sites don't do. When we do find annoyances which aren't dangerous, we make the user aware of that too so cover all bases. When we see a freeware developer going bad, we publicise it to warn others - who else does that?!! As for zdnet (download.com) and tucows.com, they bundle their own form of adware in their downloads now so I'd steer clear of them!
