Freeapp beta 2.1. Has tabs for Givaway, Freeware, Updates, UnInstallers, & Status.

Home page for freeapp.exe is; freenew.net. I scanned freeapp.exe using Symantec AntiVirus updated thru 5/21/2010 rev.2, with no virus found.

Today, 5/24/2010, it informed me of Firefox 3.6.3 available, and with a few clicks,
it uninstalled my old Firefox, and downloaded Firefox 3.6.3…
