Exactly. See my other post replying to the mass of "why free?" questions I'm getting.

I'll try that on my laptop. Last time I tried it, I didn't have a pleasant experience.

I had a number of bad experiences with the old XP versions on friends / family computers (that I had the honor of working on) where it became corrupted and was VERY difficult to uninstall. Not quite the level of trying to uninstall Symantec junk - but close. 
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

Everyone needs to make money somehow, I don't mind paying for software if I get a good product and a decent amount of support (updates, patches, etc). Of course, what you charge should be reasonable for your expected users.

Open Source anti-virus, with crowd-sourced signatures. Somebody needs to make it happen.
What could possibly go wrong?

Not sure what to recommend for AV solutions - every one of them has had problems of some sort. Most reviews are not independent, they change over time, and even comparisons done in the same time interval seem to conflict.
Ratings of proper detection, false positives, impact on system (memory and cpu cycle footprint), ease of use and configuration, ease of central management, etc.
I was originally a Norton/Symantec guy but into the late 90s and early 2000s their software became a big, heavy, expensive brick. Unreliable, difficult to manage, slowed PC's to a crawl, and damn near impossible to cleanly uninstall. I also worked with McAfee during the same period (different clients) - overall better experience than Norton but still not a fan of their central management and detection rates. Since then I've either worked directly with or had clients (and friends/family) who had AVG, Avast, TM, Kaspersky, MSE (and WIndows Defender), etc. For network deployment Kaspersky is ok (I have no idea why you don't like them based on a "Russian sounding name" - please tell me that you don't trust Google, Apple, or MS!). For personal use I've been ok with MSE, but it certainly hasn't been perfect - small footprint but not 100% detection.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Someone was having a bit of fun[^] with fans eagerly awaiting detailed information about a major upcoming patch.
My question for the peanut gallery is, if you released something like this in place of normal patch notes, would any of your users actually notice.

Look at QA. You don't really think anyone could legitimately be that stupid, do you?

Fifa has banned former executive committee member and ex-Concacaf general secretary Chuck Blazer from all football related activity for life.
So my understanding is that Santa said FIFA took more kickbacks than the Teamsters, the FBI et al arrests everyone [except the most corrupt pocket liner of them all] for being so crooked they make a corkscrew look straight, FIFA promises to investigate the endemic corruption that had led to the least suitable countries hosting the World Cup and as a result of all this Santa has been banned from any future involvement with Nancyball.
Yea, that figures. Sepp for President!

The rest of his life will not be for very long.
You missed the bit where the FBI said to him, you've been taking bribes, that is wrong, if we give you a bribe will you get information about all the bribes everyone else is taking, because we hate bribes, apart from the ones we give.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
