AVG Anti-Spyware free edition goes to limited free edition??

I've always wondered why, AVG Anti-Spyware free edition goes to limited free edition? It's a free program - AVG Anti-Virus doesn't do that why does Anti-Spyware? I've had AVG for a while now, and I've always wondered why the AVG Anti-Spyware program has full protection (Resident Shield, Automatic Updates) when you first download it.. and then after a certain amount of days it will say "You are using the featured-limited free version" and you no longer have the resident shield and automatic updates

There are two faces of a free software: it can be a FREEware or an Evaluation Copy.



Example, Yahoo Messenger is a freeware, but Winzip, winamp, etc are evaluation copy softwares bcuz you have options to purchase these softwares. Similarly, AVG Antispyware is also an evaluation copy unless you buy it, and after specific days of installation, it starts showing up.



But I totally and absolutely agree with you, friend. These people have changed the actual definition of FREE completely. It's Free (with an asterix *) means not unlimited free but only for a certain period, conditions apply..... ;)
