Downloads

Here at Virginia Web Works we hear about and try new software on a regular basis. In fact, we have intentionally created a culture of looking for good useful freeware. And there is a lot of it! Unfortunately there is also a lot of buggy (error-prone) freeware, and freeware that is vulnerable to adware or malware. All of the freeware that you will see listed on this site has been tested by us personally, and, in many cases, we use this freeware regularly. Why pay for software when there is freeware available that is just as good?

There is much more good freeware available on the internet than what we list here. Those that we have found to be the most helpful and enduring are the ones you will find here. Click on any of the links you find on these pages to visit the home websites of these free software products.

All of the freeware we list is great, but our must-have favorites are listed below. For more great freeware, visit the categories shown above in the sub-menu.

Oh, Trikkes are quite obviously not software. And they're not free. They're just a lot of fun and great exercise, and we had to let you know about them.

CCleaner
CCleaner is a system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. And it's fast and contains NO Spyware or Adware!

Ad-Aware 2008 Free
Ad-Aware 2008 is the latest version of Lavasoft's industry leading anti-spyware solution. Ad-Aware 2008 protects you from spyware and malware that secretly takes control of your computer, resulting in aggressive advertising pop-ups, sluggish computer activity and even identity theft through stolen private information.

AVG Anti-Virus
Trusted by 70 million users, we find this anti-virus solution to be more than adaquate, especially when combined with CCleaner and Ad-Aware. This is the most downloaded software on CNET's Download.com. Compatible with Windows Vista and Windows XP.
