Question FREE downloads?

NAC, Inc recommended the below site in an other topic (about changing outlook sounds I believe it was)

www.simtel.net

This site has many downloadable freeware, but what does it do to your PC?
Why is it free? How can you prevent chaos on your PC, despite the trustworthy descriptions which go with it?
NAC, Inc might have experience with this particular site?

Certainly when virus scanned nothing came up on the few (free)programmes I downloaded.
But I am reluctant to launch them on my unsuspecting, new, low budget, PC.

What is the safest way to approach this type of download sites?


Your combined advise is appreciated, as always.
