Since Windows is 90% of the systems, 99 % of the jerks write
viruses for Windows.

| This is an Off Topic subject for the majority of News
Groups posted to.

| In reply however....
|
| And police don't earn a salary ?
| Do we not pay the FBI and CIA employees ?
| Does not a lawyer charge for services ?
| Does not a locksmith get paid for their services ?
|
| So AV companies have a *RIGHT* to charge for their
services as well. Most are nominal fees.
|
| In actuality, this kind of bullsh!t argument has no
relevance in *any* of the posted News
| Groups.
| Take this argument to; alt.comp.virus and/or
alt.comp.anti-virus
| Those locations are more apropos for this kind of broad
discussion as it does not really
| have a Microsoft basis since the argument would be the
same for *any* OS including
| Microsoft.
|
| What other OS, besides Windows, is affected to any large
extent by a
| virus?

it (trojan horse,

is a very good

responsible for some (or

way there is always

| |
| | Sounds kind of like the mafia. Either you pay them for
protection or

| |
| | Is this just a coincidence?
