    It's about time McAfee got dinged for it, Symantec not so much though some of their fees are up there.

    When you consider how many people the two of them have ripped off, that fine is NOTHING! Almost any PC you buy in North America has one or the other installed as a 'trial'. Neither one is easy to totally get rid of. The grief that they cause those of us who never wanted them in the first place should should be compensated for as well!

    we can always get a small payback by pirating their stuff

    Why pirate either one of them when there are better products for free? It's kind of like 'stealing' a dog turd!

    I wouldn't pirate either of them if you paid me.

    I'm sticking to ESET, thanks.
