When I installed BD, I was not given a choice whether I wanted to trial the paid version. Now that it's expired I keep getting this annoying popup saying my protection has expired and my system is at risk. It scared me the first time, so I checked, but BD free was still running, still doing its job. I closed the popup, but it comes up every day now along with a lot of other annoying popups. I have all this turned off in settings, but obviously, that doesn't work.
Trying to scare us into buying a paid version is not going to make us do anything but leave. I'm looking now for an alternative, because I can't afford the paid version and I don't like being threatened. I could stand a popup every once in awhile, maybe once a month, asking me to upgrade, but this is ridiculous and unprofessional and does not speak well of your company.
