FAQ

|
How do I start using The Download Guide?
|
|
| It is very simple to
use our website. You can browse through the products
via different categories listed on the site or you
can use our search tool to look for a specific product
that you have in mind. For any product, go through
the product description to understand its utility,
specifications, and system requirements. The instructions
for download and installation would be included.
Be sure to review the license agreement of the product
you download.
|
| Do you charge users for downloading
from your website? |
|
| No. We do not charge
the users for our services. However, our directory
lists both free and paid products and to download
some products, you might need to make a payment
to the vendor/ developer. |
| How do I determine the compatibility of the software
with the operating system of my PC? |
|
| To ensure that you have complete information
on the product that you download, we require the developers
to include complete information on the product in the product
description. You need to go through the product specifications
given in this description to check the operating system
requirements, space requirements, etc. |
| What are demos and free-trial
versions? |
|
| Demos and free-trial versions
are again free software, however there are certain limitations
associated with these, when compared to the full-versions
of these software. The demos and free-trial versions are
usually intended to give users the ability to try a product
and make a better judgment before going ahead and actually
purchasing it.
Demos usually have limited functionality with part of the
features disabled, compared to the full-version. By using
the demo you get an idea about the product and you can then
opt to buy the full version, which may be available online
for download or would need to be purchased from retail stores.
Trial-versions usually allow you to download the software
and try it within limitations of a trial period. Once the
trial period ends, you can register and pay for subsequent
use.
You should always check the license agreement for the software
that you download. |
| What is an adware?
|
|
| Adware are the “ad-supported”
software. As the name indicates, the developers of such
software make their money by selling ads instead of charging
you, the user for the software. Therefore adware, also called
spyware, are usually available for download for free. When
you run the program, the advertisements contained in the
software are delivered to your PC. On one hand, you benefit
by getting a free software, however on the other hand, you
might find it annoying to get these ads. There is also the
issue of privacy since adware collects information about
your online behavior and forwards it to the advertiser.
|
| How can I determine if the free
software is indeed an adware?
|
|
| To make sure that you,
the user, know exactly what you are getting, we require
the developers to include complete information on the product,
including details on the components bundled with the software,
in the Product description. You should also check the license
agreement for the software that you download. |
