Please see the > distinction. This is going into economics theory, and we will have to move the thread to TBOT soon: The conference was organised by the virus bulletin (CMIIW). They do this in order to increase their visibility. (Maybe they do it out of altruism, but that what be highly unusual.) They do not have enough money to just pay for the whole event, so they ask vendors to sponsor, rather than asking participants to pay such a high fee that the cost could be covered. This creates dependence. > Again, I informed my fellow TheBat! readers simply to help them out. And, as I said, this is appreciated. > Continue to use what ever product you wish. I know I am safe :-) You are safe, because NOD32 is still a good product. I do not wish to continue to use the product I am with, that's why information about AV software is welcome. I know that not all info that comes my way will have been pre-screened, so don't worry. Please do not take offense, nobody here meant to mob you. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat!
