Huh?
Sounds like rubbish to me, my antivirus program runs in the background,
updates automatically, scans automatically, watches all my incoming
email before it hits my inbox -- and didn't cost a cent. I've never had
a single problem with it.
I don't doubt that it's easy to find bad antivirus software, but your
assertion doesn't match my experience at all.
