If you get freeware from reliable sources it is okay.

Good source for an anti-virus application as an example:
Anti virus for Linux, Windows and more with firewall, antispam, recovery security - Avira AntiVir

These kinds of apps bug you periodically to buy the real licensed product.

In general, if you download from the application builder directly it is probably okay.
SourceForge.net: Find and Develop Open Source Software
Is a good place to browse for what you need. Some projects are NOT complete. So read carefully so you do not waste time and effort.

Click on the security link on the first page to browse for what you seem to want.
