EtraCheck

I have been updating this and for the last 4 times and now it say to purchase activation code.See screenshot. Does anyone know a way around it cause I cannot afford to pay for it I am out of work. And does anyone know of another one that is free to use for reports like EtrCheck? If so please let me know what it is.

I loved this and know h=they want money I know sooner or later it would happen.


Thank you all for your help into this.

I was just showing him how Malwarebytes has a trial period with fulll features and after trail then you get basic software not with all the goods ,t hat go with a premium service. But thay have the software you can run with updates and run to check for adware. So you can have the app 2 ways pay for full version or get free version with basic coverage thats all.

Don't worry. No harm done. You actually did me a big favour. I didn't know CNET had a copy. That wasn't my first DMCA takedown I've had to send out. I don't even think it was the first one I've sent to CNET.


I don't like to see people refer to my software in the past tense. I'll see what I can do about restoring a free version. And don't forget, you can always send feedback to me directly.

[ Contact ] is the 'easy button' for EtreCheck's home page etresoft..

or http://etresoft.com/contact & email link is within + 'snail' address.


While both adwaremedic and original etrecheck makers have ASC

participation in common over many years, they've had to adapt to

keep helpful updated products where people may find & use them.

And visitors here may not see this is a form of community, as much.


..Thank you for helping..

Good luck & safe travels! 🙂

Just so you know I will not be using it anymore that now your chrrging for it. So no worry I deleted my version I downloaded from download.net. Here is the link if you want to go after them, and someone mentioed the download from here I could get adware so I deleted it now. Your software was good for free I wich you gave us the option and may be take some stuff off and be able to just run your app. for the report. So I am cool its gone of my computer but will not pay for it. I need every penny I can get and if anyone on here says its not going to break the bank they do not now my needs and yes it will brealk the bank for me. So all you people on here that say that do not know my sitution.


Good luck with you pay software.

Thats ok do what you got to do first maybe I will see the free version one day and do apprecite all your help and I did remove that downalod from download.net. I got acared and about the adware potential so I uninstalled and moved it to trash and empty it. Its gone. That is why I loved your app when it was free it and was recommended by the community. Ever since I have been using when I had problems.


Thank you for all your help and understand you need to make money too. I wish I had the money to get it as you know I am on disablity and need ever penny I get. But loved your software. Sorry if I offened anybody out there I was mad in the moment wr all have those days.


I am sorry for all I hurt but still love the community and EtraCheck.
