annoyware n.

A type of shareware that

frequently disrupts normal program operation to display requests

for payment to the author in return for the ability to disable

the request messages. (Also called `nagware') The requests

generally require user action to acknowledge the message before

normal operation is resumed and are often tied to the most

frequently used features of the software. See also careware, charityware, crippleware, freeware, FRS,

guiltware, postcardware, and -ware; compare payware.
