A lot of people believe that FREE software come at a price and this shows you how companies like this, fund FREE software like this. When you talk to them, they would say the FREE package is just the stripped down version of their full retail package and that it gives them an opportunity to sell you the full retail version with more options.

You never think of all the nasty things that are happening after you install the FREE version, because you are too happy to use the AV for free. I paid for a full retail version of McAfee and also Kaspersky and so far I am happy with the result, but I still think most of these Anti-virus companies are up to no good behind the scene.  Angry

Imagine how a profile of your visits to Crypto currency wallets in your browser history would help them to target the online wallets you are visiting.  Angry
