When you make your money off defending malware of course your going to report that next year there is going to be more malware! |

Kent, WA | Big deal over nothing
McAfee is making a big deal over nothing. I have McAfee Virus software and have yet to see anything happen to my computer and until then it's a big deal on McAffee's part to say stuff that people like me don't care about. |

| Why just McAfee?
From what McAfee is saying is that there better than Norton AntiVirus witch in reality both Norton and McAfee are both as good. I don't have Norton on my computer mainly because my ISP Comcast offers McAfee with the high speed service. Works pretty good for me. |

| Time to educate the end user
Why doesn't these companies spend money on educating the end user about the security risks of Windows and help them harden their Windows. Sometimes prevention is the best key.
The average surfer has no clue how to safely surf, etc. They just go on and thus these hackers take advantage of them.

| Why Pay for Any AV At All?
I've been using Grisoft since 1999 and notwithstanding update debacles on the free version, it has yet to let me down. Consumers are basically paying the likes of Mac & Norton for the marketing of FUD year after year. Meanwhile, the apps themselves are nothing but bloatware, particularly Norton. |

And this is why I just happily stay with Avast! Antivirus ... No complaints here from them, i just noticed the occasional update, but what i don't notice slowdowns from the program. It just does its job...

Re: Why Pay for Any AV At All?
I've gotten a popup window saying that AVG Free won't be free anymore after January 2007 and that I must upgrade to the AVG Anti Virus Profession Edition ($38.95 for 2 year subscription). I've gotten this popup when stuff is loading in the system tray during startup.
Can anyone else here confirm that AVG won't be free anymore after January? Are there any better alternatives for the money? |
