To successfully download a free application or game from the Internet, one should be aware of what is called the "decrypter". This is the software that stops your PC from opening any type of file that you download. If this software is installed on your computer, then you can have total confidence that your PC will not be able to open any file that is downloaded from the Internet. Windows Vista and XP computers have a feature in place that makes the decrypter tool remove it but if you are using a different operating system such as Linux or Mac, you will need to remove the decrypter first.
The purpose of this decrypter is to prevent people from downloading files to their computers that are malicious. For example, if you download music and movies, you want to know that they are safe to put on your hard drive before you do so. In order to know this, you need to install the decrypter on your computer and allow it to run automatically. It will then remove any files that it detects as potentially harmful. Once you've finished using the software, you can uninstall it by going to the Control Panel and then removing the application. Windows Vista and XP users will find it inside the Programs & Features folder.
You can download a free application that you can use instead of the more expensive decrypter. The difference is that these are usually good quality applications that don't come with any viruses and they will keep your hard drive free of malware. In addition, most free programs will allow you to run the application on up to five computers.
