Is this like the Taliban selling anthrax vaccines?
Waaaay to many MAC-heads are sounding like Taliban these daze.

Related Note: A neighbor called me last night. He decided to save $5 and not renew his McAfee. He purchased Cyber Defender.
Well, guess what, Cyber Defender found something like 8 virus programs and said his computer had been hacked.
Next, my cheap neighbor called their customer support and allowed the tech on-line access to his PC.
You know what came next. The only way to fix this was to buy a $250 package which includes a Microsoft “expert” Technician. They were going to give him a $40 gas car however.
He decided to hold off and that is when he called me. It took me about 10 seconds with a google search to figure out this was a scam. It took me over an hour to remove all of their programs including their hidden files.

Moral of the Story: You get what you pay for!
The tool which has been part of Windows Update for a long time, Malicious Software Removal Tool (MRT.exe) is quite good. It has cleaned out malware for me that other tools could not.
Windows Defender is quite good also.
I would expect this to be a decent bit of anti-virus software.
More like a bad locksmith giving you a burglar alarm.
