[QUOTE="bellgamin, post: 1011780, member: 56053"] I am a security app junkie so I spent about $75 in the past 12 months, part of which is next year's sunk cost (lifetime VoodooShield). Reading through this thread made me decide NOT to recommend the purchase of stock in AV companies. (lots of freeby fans) I still remember -- from days of yore -- when the Avs I bought were on floppies, in pretty boxes, in a brick & mortar computer store. Dr. Solomon was one of the AVs I remember buying. In those days I spent about $30/year, but dollars back then (1980's) were [URL='https://www.inflationtool.com/us-dollar/1980-to-present-value'][B]worth almost quadruple[/B][/URL] what they are worth now -- so I have actually economized, right? (~$118 in 2022 dollars back then, versus $75 in 2022 dollars nowadays.) 🥴 [/QUOTE]
