I disagree. Freeware and Shareware is USUALLY full of Adware which is why it can be free. Adware = bad. ANY software can have bugs which could include back doors...but viruses...actual malicious code isn't going to be in purchased software intentionally. Adware, I don't trust and as far as I'm concerned might as well be a virus.
