This gives the user no chance to scrutinize any appended programs that are bundled with what freeware was desired (it can also come from an absent minded click on a pop-up whilst visiting a questionable ‘site or in an attachment in spam e-mail if opened). Legitimate companies offer freeware as samples and hire third parties (or download clients) to distribute the downloads. The operators who perform this service have the opportunity to create bundles of free programs that may interest a particular customer, and of course get paid for the number of ‘deliveries’ they make, perhaps by several different firms for one bundle – this is how electronic merchandising works.
