Are Antivirus software companies like the Mafia?
Since Windows is 90% of the systems, 99 % of the jerks write
viruses for Windows. -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome.

It does | this whenever it's told - | | | 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? | | | Dave | | | | | | "The Magnificent *******" wrote in message | ... | | 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.).

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? | | | | -- | | Magnificent ******* Productions 2004 © | | | | http://www.magnificent*******productions.com | | | | | | -- | Magnificent ******* Productions 2004 © | | http://www.magnificent*******productions.com |
