NMF Secure - consider the revenues...

Nate,

Surely if you build it, they will come, right? Consider the revenue stream.

Seriously, though, it is hard to think of a company which sells AV + other system protection tools which itself is not secure, or at least their websites.

Then again, I'm sure many people have been disconnected while on hold to complain ro ask for help fromt he telephone company, yet they keep going back. This is the definition of irony.

Some will say that they are not a security company. While they may specialize in certain aspects of security, I think it is inaccurate to say that they are not a security company. Run Windows without antivirus and surf the web for an hour and see how secure your computer remains.

For the record, I have avoided McAfee for years as I have felt that other products were superior. On my Windows boxes now I use Trend Micro, and have had great results.
