Dude look at it. It is a popup and it is telling you that you need protection. Since when did reputable companies do this? They don't. Symantec, Mcaffee, Eset, Kapersky, Panda, etc do not use any of those types of marketing.

Always amazes me how much effort the programmers/makers put into making a program look legit, but in the end is just something to fuck you over.

I do believe I had the version 8 free edition, but after 60 days it was telling me that it was out of date and that I needed to purchase the program to keep it updated. Anyway its not a problem for me and I at least have know now that my anti-virus software is legit and always fully up to date.
Thanks for your help and I may use this advice in future.

The fact at some point Krypton also wants to dabble on the share market to make money is something of a worry.
After this little episode I think its probably not a good idea...

Already have, and I handily beat the market...

Maybe you should pay more attention to companies that have your personal information, seeing as they routinely lose it to hackers and misplaced data trinkets, I'm sure you trust them too..

...Yes you do.

Are you one of those "not stupid" people that click on buttons that speed up your computer because a POORLY CONSTRUCTED fake mock up message box in a flash banner comes across your web browser screen?

Some people don't take criticism very well, do they?

Ahhh, the irony.
