I constantly despair of users who cry for a totally
free solution to one of the two most basic needs
of a computer system, protection against the
assails of an unfriendly world. Would they go to
the nearest Starbucks and ask for free caffeine to
start their day? Would they expect free fuel for
their chosen fossil-charged car?

Oh yes, and the other thing to spend money on,
for sure: disaster recovery, such as an imaging
piece of software to recreate their system after
a disk crash.

So why do software makers offer free software ?

Continue to despair. Not everyone has as much money as you. Why buy when you
can use MSE?

I bet you don't believe in spell checkers either.
