Of course they've gone mad. MAD and GREEDY. It's sad when greediness speaks louder than good sense and ethics.

Nice find, Bill.
One thing we humans have in common is that we are all different. So, if you think you're weird because you're different from everyone else, then we are all weird.

Nice article. I agree on that except avast. I like avast and drop box that bad as it is actually a useful service. I also like that avast has remote help in the free version. It makes those silly problems much easier.

I have never tried bit defender free, will have to try it.
