Just as a refresher, here is some of what they said: in USA Today, (2010-09-22) “Freeware vendors have created a false perception that free, basic security is enough to protect you from today’s online threats,” says [...]

Virus Protection and Virus Cleaning – two different things…
Protection vs Cleaning….two very different things! Should we have both in a single product? Whats the point?
