It seems in the last year or so they have changed their philosophy about offering free antivirus protection.
Even though I have turned off all alerts, every day I get a pop-up from the system tray that I need to upgrade... it looks exactly like the upDATE popup, except for the one word. Not update, upgrade. I was dubious but curious the first time so I clicked through and read all the different windows, and at no time did it tell my it was taking me to the 30-day trial of the full version, but it was. So every day I decline the upgrade.
Today, it tells me I need an update. I am still dubious, but I click through, reading the windows.... and the very last one says I am about to begin the upgrade to the full version.
These fuckers are becoming assholes.
Anyone know another good, free antivirus that won't try to trick me?
