 Gmacri: I'm using WordWeb since long time ago, now I have the Pro version. Indeed WordWeb is one of the best english thesaurus and dictionary for Windows [2009-01-20 11:11]

 Transcontinental: "Free for people who do not take more than one return flight in any 12 month period"
I never got to understand this insanity : even taking the word for it, how in the world am I to demonstrate that I have no more than one flight ticket in my archives ?! :=)
I'm sticking with version 5.0, which doesn't stop after a year. This is fake frewware. [2009-01-28 05:41]

 MDG: You can also hear many pronunciations directly with very high quality in natural voice if you install some sound files. For details see http://wordweb.info/users/sound.html [2009-03-25 09:05]

 Crid: Anybody know where I can get a copy of the version 5 that commenter Transcontinental mentions? [2009-11-22 20:42]

 Snidely Whiplash: My understanding of the licensing agreement is that it's based on the honor system.
It doesn't "stop after a year", or thirty days, or ever.
The author states that "you must uninstall the program" after thirty days if you don't meet the qualifications. The licensing terms that Transcontinental referred to applied to WordWeb 5.x, but seem to apply to the latest version as well.

 Crid: Snidely - Thanks, good to know! It's a great piece of software.... Especially at this price! [2009-11-23 06:23]

 Observer: The license is innovative and intelligent! I really appreciated such an initiative. We all are traveling in the same boat called Earth, and we all must develop a serious commitment to our own benefit. Kudos for the intelligence behind the license agreement! [2009-11-23 18:40]

 foxcole: Could someone please explain to someone else who has never set eyes on the license agreement, what it is? What's that about a "return trip in 12 months?" Lawdy, I hope it doesn't mean I could only use the thing once a year for free. What is "innovative and intelligent" about the license agreement? Is this freeware or isn't it? [2010-01-08 01:27]

 Person: I had wordweb myself for several months, until one day I opened it and there was a dialog box asking me about my travel plans (as apparently is in the licensing agreement). I gave the 'wrong answer' and the program stopped letting me run it. I uninstalled it. [2010-07-05 15:50]

For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
