People don't realize that there are plenty different and better alternatives to go with. We have the Free Versions of Avast and AVG, Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, Zone Alarms Free Firewall.
Most people in this world are computer ilerterate because they don't take the time to pay attention in computer class because it's "boring" or they just think its geeky. Those are the people that pay those companies millions of dollars to do nothing for them, and those are the people that screw up there computers and get viruses and spyware ALL THE TIME!
Other things piss me off too, like when IT's of big corporations actually listen to microsoft and these other big companies and pay them millions of dollars every year for nothing. Then they wonder why there computer systems got hacked or infected with a Virus or trojan. The IT's of big comapanies need to wake up and smell the roses
