The full price of its license is $49.95, but it can be purchase for $29.95 at a discounted price. Unfortunately, we cannot promise that this program will work beneficially after the upgrade, so we do not recommend investing money in the license of this potentially unwanted program.

That is, it will start working every time you turn on your computer.
