WHAT IF IN 3 YEARS TIME SOMEONE DEVELOPS A VIRUS FOR THE VIRUSPROOF COMPUTER?
* Currently all VirusProof computers come with a 5 year warranty on virus
contamination. This means that if, within the first five years of ownership,
your VP computer develops a virus, we will re-instate, for free, your computer
to exactly as it was when you first received the computer. All users are
required to arrange delivery and pickup from our Sydney factory.

"Sometimes it's not as important to know HOW it works, just that it DOES work!"
Absolute, complete, unvarnished: snake oil.
"Read crazy jokes from your friends without fear of accidentally downloading a
virus (some naive friends send you emails with viruses hidden behind pictures)."
Yeah, crazy jokes about companies who claim, "we can guarantee you absolute
safety."
I'd say we all chip in and buy one just to hack the butt-cheeks out of it, but
I'd hate to give these chimps a thin dime.
