The uninstaller mentioned above took it out, but it is a contrary critter.
I don't know how they expect to sell the upgraded one when they use such underhanded tactics to get the free version into a computer.
I already have Norton to guard against Malware, so the first time the K9 deal popped up, I clicked the "close box" in the upper RH corner which actually is the download button.
If I had installed Adblocker like all you guys recommend, it probably would have kept it from ever popping up.
I have it now.
