Usually, freeware applications can be found at third-party websites. The problem with third-party websites is that no one can guarantee what kind of content is hosted there. Even if you find a particular program you need at some freeware page, you have to keep in mind that third-party installers often bundle several applications together, and if you go through the installation automatically, you might add all those unnecessary programs, too. This is also how Miltipool Miner may enter your system, too.
