Downloader Beware: Every now and then a great piece of free software will save you time and money. Just be aware it is a big bad world online, and free software or freeware is a tool used from time to time by those up to no good. CNCCookbook isn’t vouching for any of this software and we don’t necessarily use it ourselves, except our own software of course. It’s just stuff we’ve come across or had recommended to us by readers. Make sure your antivirus program is tuned in and turned on if you decide to download freeware and start using it. Just sayin’!
