FreewareSG.com FAQ
Last Updated: July 28, 2010

Do I have to register?
Site registration is NOT required as all the freeware on this site is publicly accessible.

Will you have premium content?
No, this is a free site and will remain this way.

How often do you update your site?
My target is at least 30 freeware posts per month. These may come in ‘batches’ though, rather than once a day.

Does FreewareSG.com install any spyware/malware or toolbars within my browser?
Of course NOT! This is just a normal website, nothing will be installed on your system.

Why don’t you host the Freeware downloads on the FreewareSG.com site itself?
I cannot afford the webspace and bandwidth. Also since new version of freeware come out once every few months, it is the best that you download the version of the freeware from the developer’s website.

Is the software featured on FreewareSG.com really free?
Yes. Some of the freewares do have ‘paid’ version though but only the free ones are posted here.

Do you install and test every program you posted?
Not all of the them. The reason is because there are really too many freewares in this world for me to test. My purpose is to have them (freewares) categorized neatly.

Will you find or recommend a certain freeware if I ask you? Will you answer a software related question by email?
Probably. I will at least try.

Would you consider trialware?
No. This site is about freeware.

Will you post a freeware that is in alpha or beta?
No. Unless the freeware is in Release Candidate stage and is going to final version.

Will you post freeware that contains sponsors/advertisement on your site?
I might, provided that the freeware satisfies the below conditions:

  • The program is unique and has a high value added.
  • The ads do not interefere with the user experience (i.e. the UI is well designed and the ads unobtrusive).
  • The ads do not link to gambling or adult sites.

What about freewares that ask you to register or provide an email or other personal info?
I will post these provided that the website will not share or sell your email or personal info.

Will you knowingly post freewares that contain spyware and/or other malware.
No. I will go to great lengths to make sure that no such software is featured on freewaregenius.

Will you post cracks or warez on your site?
No. Everything is 100% legitimate and legal. One of the objectives of this site is to show that there is quality freeware out there that will do most everything that you need, and that you really don’t need cracked software.
