Depending on the kind of software,however log on to www.download.com - but be mindful that most of this free software you download from the Internet are not 100 percent guarantee you will be protected.
Also try www.Microsoft.com
My advice to everyone looking to download free software is that they should be mindful of what they are downloading,secondly do nor run any software you are downloading unless you trust the website you are downloading it from,first save it to your computer before running and if you have Anti-virus in your system use it to run the downloaded file to check the status.

http://www.limewire.com/ is the most used free file sharing site. make sure you have anti virus running before swapping any files. the free edition of avg available from http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ does a good job. once you have installed limewire do a search for limewire pro. then install this and delete the original. pro is faster.

You can find it anywhere, BUT, you really should just install
what you need to use, the more of that shareware junk,
you install the more your pc will get bogged down, and
run the risks of that crap, spyware/viruses.
thats why they give you those free waterfall screensavers,
there full of junk.
