showing ads in software violates user privacy as ad rendering is "cross domain": the same finite set of ad servers across ALL sites the user ever visits. how is this not malware?
the COST of ads is loss of privacy: this is not in the best interest of the user, this is ANTITHETICAL to free, this is malware per se
Another way to call FSLabs, a well regarded developer of payware add-ons for the flight sim P3D.
They had a reputation for quietly adding malware on their software to “fight piracy”, then removing it and silencing people when they got exposed, and adding it back again when people quieten down.

A Brand of "scareware" that just appears on a victims computer often with the victim doing nothing to provoke it. It installs a program and states that certain viruses are infecting a victims computer that actually aren't. Eventually causes the system to freeze and crash and cancels out any antivirus software that maybe on the persons PC. It also pesters you into paying up to $50 for them to stop bombarding you with error messages. The software it just fucks up the system if the person purchases it.
Malwarebytes is a great program for detecting and deleting Malware off your computer. Most of the Malware you have isn't actually malware but malwarebytes deletes it anyway because it can. Say bye to that oneimportant PDF you have...
