Default Are Antivirus software companies like the Mafia?

Antivirus software companies charge you money to "protect" your computer
from viruses and other bad things that could happen to it (trojan horse,
worm, etc.). If you don't pay for protection, there is a very good
chance that something bad will happen to your computer. Some people say
that some antivirus software companies are even responsible for some (or
most) of the new viruses that come out.........that way there is always
a need for their products.

Sounds kind of like the mafia. Either you pay them for protection or
you'll get hurt or something like that.

Is this just a coincidence?


I just got a whole bunch of Microsoft Patch emails and I quickly downloaded
all eight of them. My computer is running a little slower, but I bet I
prevented a big can of worms. Always download those emails. You never know
what could happen if you don't. Always trust stuff from Righter.
