So: One had reason to be suspicious of unusual activity on one's Internet connection.
One had sought advice from one's provider (BT)
That advice had been that one had a virus or had experienced some other failure
BT had, for whatever reason, NOT advised that one had been used in any kind of trial programme and there may be otherwise unexplained activity on one's connection.
BT had, for whatever reason, NOT advised that the efects seen were due to the workings of the trial programme.
One had, as a response to the advice from BT specifically given in answer to one's questions, spent money on professional services to diagnose and correct the fault, on the basis of the information from BT.
This money was needlessly wasted.
One has therefore suffered a demonstrable material loss as a result of BT's activities.
Sue the buggers!
