You do have to watch out on Freeware these days. A lot of Freeware authors now get paid to Bundle Adware, and Spyware in their applications. The Virus, and Spyware writers are ahead of the Antivirus utitlities. It is always a catch up game. So you really can't trust your AV software to catch things you download, and install yourself. P2P downloads of all kinds are filled with a lot of Malware also.
