BAHAHAHAHA... hahahe... oh, that David Hall. Has he thought about making a career in comedy? That was an absolute gas!

There's no reason to spend ~$70 annually for protection when it can still fail. If you spend nothing on that same protection and it fails, you don't feel as cheated. The headache of trying to get your computer back from an infection still applies, but it will feel considerably lighter. The Symantecs and McAfees of the world, IMO, are mostly about bilking customers over the fundamental right of computer users to surf safely. Yes, I consider safe surfing a right.
