WTG!

So now, with "the writing on the wall" so to speak, perhaps they will
not just "tell their programmers it's bad", but actually take action.
Not that I, or you, really care:-). It's just that one wants any AV
that MS claim support for to be as optimal as possible. The good
effort you've done is truly commendable, but... As you say, how can we
really ever trust them (as a provider of AV services)? Oh well, there
it is.

I just snuck a peak at their download site... Still the same package (7.0.1).
