Hi Lunarray and welcome to the PCWorld Communities.

I really do not know if this would constitute a misleading act. Here are some things to consider:

• There are several types of files:

1. Freeware - Full access with no fee
2. Trial - Full or partially functioning access with a fee at a pre-determined time to get full access
3. Shareware - Full access for free and the option to pay for further development
4. Paid - No access unless fee is paid

Unless the application you are using specifically said it is free, you would have to research to find out exactly how much the application would cost and when the payment would need to be made.

Can you provide a link to the site you went to download the file(s)?
