I guess when it comes to anti-virus, like anything else, you get what you pay for. That is why I don't use free anti-virus software.

Yes, millions do. But it's not prejudice or a misunderstanding. I look at it this way. If I am using something for free, if it doesn't update I have nothing to complain about. It was free. But if I am using a paid product, the software company is more likely to ensure that I get those updates when I'm supposed to.
