[QUOTE="upnorth, post: 1033425, member: 38832"] From one pure protection point of view, just check out the longtime testing in the malware HUB that member [USER=49543]@Andrew3000[/USER] been kind enough to share, as that show their free AV product it's strength and very few weaknesses. Along with some silly good analysts and re-searchers that I know work for the company, this news on the GDPR fine still ain't the best in town and obvious will sting. What will hurt the most and cost the company big time, is the brand getting stained, again. In the world of investors that matters.
