I've actually never heard of this nor encountered it. Have you tried an uninstall/reinstall?

Possible to take a screenie? I'm interested

Are you referring to Titanium Backup? If so, it sounds to me like the Titanium that you've installed isn't the proper Titanium Backup app. I used Titanium Backup for quite a while and it never tried to force me to install a game, unless this is something new with Ti. This sounds kinda like malware. Can you uninstall the Titanium Backup that you have and install it from this link? There have been lots of reports of people trying to pass malware off as legitimate apps.

Nope, never saw ads in the lite version. IIRC, the only limitation in the light version is you can't do a batch restore of apps, you need to restore apps one-at-a-time.

That's only thing I noticed in pro which is totally worth it if you've got 15 or more to restore.

Where exactly are you getting the app from? This sounds strangely like the apps being passed off by sites which deal in pirated apps. If you are indeed getting your pro copy from a legitimate source it is highly unlikely that you would be required to jump through hoops to install an app for which you have already paid. Not an accusation and there's no judgement on my end but i think this is the risk we run if /when we try to save a few bucks by installing pirated apps. Id encourage you to spend the couple of bucks and purchase the app from the market. It's well worth the cost and the developer is constantly working to make it better. He deserves our support.
