   While aphorisms have truth deeply embedded, more often than not they don't.   
    "There¢s no such thing as a free lunch."   
    "You get what you pay for."   
    "Cheap is expensive."   
    "If you're not paying for the product, you are the product."   
    "When something is free, ask what it's costing you in privacy."   
    "Convenience of freeware is just surveillance in disguise."   
    "Privacy is dead, and free social media holds the smoking gun."   
      
   What examples of freeware do you feel meet or do not meet these aphorisms?   
   I'll start.   
      
    Irfanview meet my freeware & privacy expectations.   
    Vpngate.net does not.
