    Since when are words on their own offensive when they aren0't targeted at anyone? Should I used manure? Feces maybe? Should we ban these words from dictionaries now, so we won't offend people who happen to read the dictionary? Jesus...

    I regard Windows Me, Vista & Win 8 as proof that someone at Microsoft definitely has a sense of humour. o_O

    That's a good working hypothesis, I was erring towards an insanity plea by Microsoft ... :argh:

    Well, if I say that Panda account popup is crap, technically word crap is the same as the T word you keep on banning so furiously. Lets just ban the whole internet because somewhere, something will offend someone with 100% certainty.

    Giving an email addy for a free product isn't a big deal imho..Panda make the adware options perfectly clear at the start of install and they don't bother you with endless upgrade popups...I have two email accounts, one for personal and wanted contact and another for what I consider rubbish email needs...I'm using Panda Free now and simply 'paying' for it with an email addy is good value in my book.

    Yeah, I think Panda is good value for free. I don't see the problem with the email address either. It's no biggie.

    Well said! :argh:

    Panda should also stop the licence renewal reminder of Panda Pro. I've seen a reminder 1 year before the licence expires, that's just ridiculous. I don't like Nagware ...

    It's not just e-mail, I have to CREATE an account. If I could just enter the e-mail and be done with it I wouldn't be complaining here. For example like avast! has is fine. I just hate it that its functionality depends on the validity of the license. Which is not the case for Panda...
