Correct, that's why I said that it doesn't mean the program isn't any good, but it's always good to know a little bit more why something like this is for free. So I'm not encouraging people to stop using it, but just simply stating a point cause this topic is about free anti-virus progs and it makes me wonder why on earth a EULA would contain those things if not for using it in the near future.

Using Avira Antivir myself. It's really good and the problems with updating are solved uptil now.
