There was a better articles on slashdot but I couldnt find it again Confused

They are almost out of buisness now that Microsoft Anti-spyware is going to stay free and will probably be bundled with Longhorn.

It's a shame they got paid of, kind of defeats the purpose of their software.

I don't think that is a valid statement. The purpose of a bodyguard is to make money as well but he should not be able to be paid off by someone who thinks he has a reason to kill that person.
