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".

Craig said: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...

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

this. Now, practically speaking, nothing.
I don't /think/ we're arguing.

Thanks!Ivan said:Support > Home User (the menu on the left) -> Product Information
Craig said: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

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

Doesn't surprise me, frankly. I can't really fault a business for
de-emphasizing its free offerings. The free personal/pay otherwise
business model has got to be tough. AVG is another one that makes it
hard to find any info about its free version.
