Welcome(?) gift

Isn't this just a bit presumptuous? There's no such thing as a free lunch and on that premise I ignore it.

You are under no obligation to accept it  8)

Did it even say what it was ?

I have been happy with Avast Free for over 18 years and I don't even have all of the components installed. 

There are many things that I consider my personal responsibility, e.g. if you don't want to lose it then back it up (frequently).  To that end I generally do a Minimal install + WiFi.

The "gift" is usually a discount to the paid product.
