The cost of freebie stuff is a few clicks to avoid adware, more or less. Just yesterday I found an older version of Comodo which would install on W2003R2 (thanks, Hugo!), and I had to be very careful to uncheck several options to avoid all the Yahoo crapware. In the end, it installed clean... but it doesn't work, all the options are deactivated, and clicking them doesn't register at all - the Turn On radio button doesn't, it stays on Turn Off no matter what I do. And I even did it the courtesy of rebooting several times (once per version I tried)(read the previous parenthesis with care).
