The article, which features the editors' top 101 picks of online services and downloadable software in various categories ranging from Security to Video and Photo, provides information to help keep users productive, secure, and entertained. Products selected for inclusion in the "101 Fantastic Freebies" list were chosen by PC World editors based on features, design, and performance.
