annoyware n.

A type of [546]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')

before normal operation is resumed and are often tied to the most
frequently used features of the software. See also [547]careware,
