Ad-aware Plus 2007

[Guest shanebeatson@gmail.com]

Okay, I don't like saying 'I was right' - after all it usually means

something negative. But I was - Lavasoft have gone back on the promise

of lifelong updates to those who bought Ad-aware Plus back in, in my

case, late-2000. They call it a different product - as I predicted

they would - which those like myself may - whoopee do! - upgrade to at

a 40% discount!

 

Funny, because it's going to cost them more than they save with this

cheap attempt to renege on the original deal they made with, among

doubtless many others, me.

 

It really is time everybody realized businesses in the security field

that renege on their deals are as bad as the people they supposedly

protect against. It is the same reason as why a 'bent copper' is worse

than an ordinary crook.

That's a crock. I don't see how they can get away with calling it a

different product and they should honor their agreement with those that

supported their product in the beginning. I have a number of apps that have

lifetime updates, some that are about 10 years old and I am still getting

program updates. Of course, I have had others that will update only until

the primary version number changes, but, that was revealed in the beginning!

Personally, I think you and all the other folks that purchased the 'plus'

version, are getting shafted on this one.

Heirloom, old and sounds like a bite in the

butt

I have to agree with you there Heirloom, I think it sucks <g> I have

programs that have lifetime updates even though the original product has

changed I still get the updates without problems. My zip program comes to

mind, Power Archiver, that has changed needing a new install key for the

new version but it was still free for me to update, I have had it several

years as well.

That's my 2 cents worth <g>

Just received this link and thought it may be helpful in your situation:

it surely isn't for me and my WinME.

Let me know if it did anything at all to solve your problem.

Harry,

 

The problem is I'm supposed to get Ad-aware Plus updates for life but

to get out of their commitments they now call it Ad-aware Plus 2007 or

Ad-aware 2007 Plus and claim it's a different program. The problem is

Lavasoft have turned into a bunch of lying cheats.

 

I think the way to solve my problem will be to report them for fraud

and make sure it gets widely disseminated.

Without disputing your claim, it's hard to accept this fact, because they

seem to operate on a user-friendly basis.

Sorry I couldn't be of help.

If your description conforms to the facts, I support such action. <H>.

We are a bit "edgy" today, aren't we???

I told you to go after them, not me!

Why do you "choose" to pick a fight with me?

I don't feel like "playing".

Cheers,

 

Harry.

You mindless idiot. My original response hasn't even made it to Google

Groups. If I ever meet you, Harry, your long marriage will end.
