free gift....
« on: November 22, 2016, 10:02:05 AM »
avast, your regularly popping up 'free gift' 'click here to unwrap'...

firstly annoying and secondly looks more like a virus trying to entice you into opening something dodgy.

why not maybe a: word it it more professionally and b: actually say what is enclosed.

I've to agree that the wording is misleading.

About the annoying part, you can turn those (promotional) ads off in the paid versions.

It's a popup most of us have complained about for a very long time.
I personally don't like gifts that cost money.  :(
