I haven't yet researched Winows and Internet Washer but I looked on their site and couldn't find a license document. The program sells for USD 34.95. A lot of software sold this way, with a free version available, include ad-ware and or spy-ware in the free version to recoup costs. Buying the registered version lets you run without the spy-ware. If you run Windows and Internet Washer, you might want to run Spybot Search and Destroy right behind it just to see if it's clean.
Sometimes the license for the free version of software requires that you leave the spy-ware component enabled since that is how the publisher recoups costs. For these programs, if you disable the spy-ware the application may no longer run or, if it does run, you may no longer be entitled to use it.
