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}.
