Acronis True Image Standard and Antivirus Protection
I have just installed Acronis True Image 2021, imagining that I was purchasing both backup software and complete antivirus protection. (I suppose I should mention that this purchase was an upgrade from Acronis True Image 2020.) I now discover that the protection afforded seems limited to ransomware attacks and cryptomining (whatever that is) and that, after having payed $CAN47.97, I must now subscribe to get the comprehensive protection I thought I was buying. True, True Image Standard offers three months of what Acronis calls advanced protection, but to have the full year of protection I must subscribe to Acronis True Image Premium.
I consider this nothing less than a shabby bait-and-switch proposition. The Acronis web site gave absolutely no indication that there were different levels of protection. There was not a hint that Acronis True Image 2021 did not afford the comprehensive antivirus protection the web site advertised. The Acronis marketing department should be ashamed.
