I'm a bit confused. Is AdAware free? Only on the website I keep seeing
the button "purchase", and in Download.com it says "free to try".

Mark;

I poked around lavasoftusa.com just now. Could find /nothing/ explicit
on the site nor in the forums saying that it's "free for personal use."
Now I'm a bit confused as well...

It's still free. Nothing's changed I've installed it a couple times just
this week. Exactly the same as before.

I didn't actually see that page. I saw the download page where it says
"This software is downloadable free of charge.", which I take as coded
language for "not really free". One then goes to Download.com, which
says " Free to try ", which is again I take as yet more coded language
for "still not free, sucka"

But anyways, let's not argue about that. Life's too short. As long as
the issue has been cleared up, that's the main thing.

Thanks to all those concerned.

Interesting; I don't see that on offer if you go through the
lavasoft.com site rather than lavasoft.de.

Mark;

I don't /think/ we're arguing. I'm interested in this since it looks as
if lavasoft is moving away from its freeware. lavasoftusa.com used to
have a fair amount of info directly related to this. Now, practically
speaking, nothing.

Makes me think of Susan's Theory of Shareware Creep (STSC)tm.

just interested,
-Craig
