Man, sometimes it's really embarassing to come from WA...  ;p  The
tactics "forced" users to do it eh?  I can mentally see it now.  I
installed the software and about halfway through the second day the
pop ups started.  I tried to ignore them.  But then on the third day,
my doorbell range and there was this big ol' muscle guy threatening me
to buy the service...or else.

Bah - people just can not accept responsibility for their own actions anymore.
