Pardon the lack of diplomacy here, but I kind of laugh at people who need virus checking software. If your applications are so vulnerable to viri that you need to spend mega time keeping some anti-virus software uptodate to ensure it protects you, why do people continue to use those applications that are so vulnerable to viri ? Software is suppoosed to work FOR you. Not the other way around.
