This is kind of common sense. Life is almost an endless string of Protection Rackets. Humans just aren't really bright enough to connect dots to dots.
You don't want to give someone an incentive to invoice you. I made that mistake a lot last year.
I must have paid every A/V company in the industry before working out that, whilst they might not have all been out-and-out corrupt, they were all lying to my face. Kaspersky is one of the worst.
The Logic is really kind of simple. Whose benefit does the writing of malware serve? Who is profitting from it?
The antivirus companies will have you believe it's Russian teenagers sitting in their Mom's basement playing WoW and shit, who get their kicks from fucking with you. But the A/V industry is a multi-billion dollar affair, which would not exist if viruses were not written. If it is the Russian teenager anarchists, it sure is very nice of them to make huge companies very wealthy, isn't it?
All these companies are just fucking liars. If they're prepared to lie so brazenly "We can fix any computer problem" when they cannot even answer a single question, what else are they prepared to lie about?
Google "Comodo Certificate Scandal", for one example.
ESET doesn't know which customer they're speaking to. Never responded.
I'm not really sure what this bs is but after I zero-filled a drive, I booted with a Kaspersky licensed disc and this was showing. Hidden files in my RAM? I said to Kaspersky, "That's not what I want, is it?"
Kaspersky wasn't sure, it would seem. Guess my four Kaspersky licenses weren't enough for them to get a clue. They just keep asking for more and more information. I mean, at what stage does it get ridiculous?
Answer: Long before I stopped being ridiculous.
He also said probably 7 years ago now that virus writers work for anti-virus companies and I absolutely believe him. No virus has ever made my computers run worse over the years than the bullshit anti-virus programs hawked to the masses to fix them.
It's kind of common sense.

This is MSSE though, for you.
MSSE isn't installed during Windows installation, is it?
Doesn't come via Hotfix, does it?

That's very charitable.
Nita can't get 90% of a Samsung Galaxy III phone perchance? I'm gonna get one. This thing is fucking amazing. It'll be corrupted instantly but...drool.
Also pulling out my HTC Desire is really fucking with my street cred.
