[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 813883"] I agree. While this technology has been around for a very long time for business and enterprise customers, it's still relativity new for home users. Some of it is a little questionable for me right now. Many of them use it to push their AV/Internet security suites IMO. It may be my perception, but sometimes it doesn't seem like you get the "full" protection, or it says your systems may be "compromised" because you don't have their AV/Internet security suite installed. It's actually one of the reasons I will more than likely build my own "router/firewall" using either pfsense or Sophos Firewall XG Home. As for the subscriptions I agree. I think what may be contributing to this is the simple fact that 3rd party AV's are dying off with the improvements and progression of people switching to WD. They are trying to find another avenue to make money and this avenue is hardware UTM's for the home. Maybe at some point we will have to pay a subscription for the amount of oxygen we consume as humans.:p [/QUOTE]
