Comletely Free Software

The CFS site has links to many, many thousands of completely free – and legal – Windows and DOS programs. We have access to archives dating back to the early 1980s! All listed freeware is freely available to all visitors, as are all our exclusive program reviews. Over 2,600 programs are downloadable from this site. Many of those programs are not available through any other Website. Programs hosted by CFS are marked with this icon: CFS download If you are unsure of the differences between shareware, freeware and public domain software, please view our definitions page. The freeware listed on this site has been hand-picked, tested, reviewed and rated to bring you the very best software. Because our charter (see above) is to list software which is legally free (without time restraints) for educational and home use, we do not include Windows NT/2000-specific programs, though most listed programs are suitable for that platform. We also do not currently support any 64-bit operating system as these are generally designed for commercial use. Again, many of the programs listed on this site are suitable for these platforms. CFS does not list Linux, smartphone apps (including Pocket PC and Windows CE), or Apple Macintosh software. While we do list some legally free commercial programs, this does not include the Microsoft Windows operating system (any version, including XP, Vista or Win7) which is not legally free.
