As another poster stated, sounds like malware. The FREEBIES typically do not incorporate anti malware/spyware in the free download along with some other features the paid variants include. It is a kind of a gotcha and is at least part of the reason for people opting to pay a subscription fee for more in depth AV/MALWARE coverage.
