EULA's are very confusing/ restricting.
I want to start charging for virus removal.
I have been looking at what other companies and users use and the general answer is: Ccleaner, malwarebytes, and a few other AV tools.
I have read the EULA's and found that CCleaner, MBAM, and all other popular AV's are not allowed for commercial/business use.
I believe I can use HiJackThis.
I am not sure about Microsoft Security Essentials.
1. What are my options for free commercial use virus removal.
2. How can I compete with those around me that illegally use these programs, when I would have to charge an extra $40 to use malwarebytes, purchasing a 1 year license when I do.
3. I could rebuild the system, but would have to buy a full license of Windows 7 since Eula states you can't create images/copies of OEM machines.
4. does non commercial use mean I can't install ccleaner, malwarebytes, avast, or ninite to better the user I am helping. I don't use the software, but install it and quickly go over so the user is better prepared in the future.
5. Can I update/install adobe and Java, or would that be considered distributing it? Without their consent I can't put these programs on an image, but can I update/install them for the client?
I always try to follow the EULA aggrements, but some of them are border line outrageous and I don't know of anyone else that does.
