I read that, but how could I know about your views after reading your first
message? Nevertheless, I replied to the parts of your message that were
relevant to me. Not because I'm hasty or I didn't understand you, but to
make my point clearer (I often find myself wrestling with the english words
to express what I really mean, I'm not a native speaker).

You know that people tend to defend their software, point of view,
whatever, even when it was - hmmm - "proven" wrong, thats why I thought you
were probably angry, since I said AntiVir is useless.

This perhaps leads to a meta discussion about the different types and
motivations of free software, and it was not my intention to lead the
discussion into that direction.

My intention was only to state a bold "be aware" when talking about
free-of-cost antivirus programs. since in that context, I found no free
software that serves the purpose well enough; and another "be aware" seeing
how easily people recommend this or that program, just because they like it
- and this personal liking often goes beyond functionality and/or reason.

Hope you had a nice ride. :-)
