You're right, seems like the trial really is only a trial.
|
|
Precisely. |

Downloaded this new one and it installs an obnoxious app called BitDefender Central which just seems to be an intermediary forcing me to create a user account. |

|
This Bitdefender software kinda seems to be it's own virus.. it takes up way too much space and resources. :/ |

Thank you for your efforts though @dcondrey, they are appreciated. |
