annoyware n.
A type of [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') The requests generally require user action to acknowledge the message before normal operation is resumed and are often tied to the most frequently used features of the software. See also [careware], [charityware], [crippleware], [freeware], [FRS], [guiltware], [postcardware], and [-ware]; compare [payware].
