Re: Symantec executive: dangerous to run free antivirus
Sure it is. Free AV software is a major threat to Symantec's continued revenue stream.
I'm not arguing his point, which is correct...how long will Microsoft continue dedicating headcount toward a program that brings in zero revenue? Avast and AVG tell you upfront you don't get the same level of protection with their free versions provided by their paid programs.
It's a risk/benefits analysis. I'm ok with the free programs for user machines, 'cause I can reload last night's backup in about 46 minutes.
The server, on the other hand, has a paid copy.
