Re: HA!
I completely agree!
I've always suspected anti-virus companies really do nothing to fight virus's, just stem the tide.
it's like a symbiotic relationship? Why kill your host and source of revenue?
Just like with the telephone and telemarketing, online companies are going to learn they can be the cause and solution of the problem and profit on both fronts.

That's what BBR is here for.
Many people have long suspected the corporate world is creating infections just to cure. Here is just one recent thread from our »Security Forum:
»Could PC makers be creating all of these virus's
Many utilities claim to remove various pieces of malware, when in fact they leave traces all over the registry and in file folders, where an average user will never look. Some registry clean up utilities do not find the entries either, and sifting manually through the registry is the only sure way to find MOST of the misses.
Many software product traces are left in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID and other keys in the registry. In order to find these leftover "traces," one would need to sift through almost every CLSID to detect them, and then may not find the leftovers, because the corps are wise enough to give "clueless" additional names to these entries.
BAH!

Dang, I do love it too. I tried their tool and then used Spybot and ADaware to clean which their tool doesn't. 
Don't forget that Dell is doing the same thing.
Pointing at the SPYware and then leaving the end users with "the finger", as it were, and not pointing further to actual solutions plus any of the ways of cleaning it off users PCs when they call for help.
