He asked me that can we delete the program and get updates from Microsoft Update or we have to keep the program? Is it safe? Will it harm the computer? Here is the link of the torrent:

Such pirated versions are illegal and there is no support for such type of activity on these forums. Such pirated versions will almost certainly fill your PC with all sorts of malware and associated rubbish.

This is an area when there are no free dinners.

Soup kitchens (http://history1900s.about.com/library/photos/blygd41.htm) also were free. Despite the greed of recent decades philanthropy has always existed.

Certainly there is a lot of very good legal freeware if you know where to look for it though some does come with things like targeted advertising as the "hidden cost".
