Please quote one person complaining about getting infected using v7
Guess you haven't seen that there is a search option on this webboard and/or you don't know how to search.
What people have complained about is being updated without their permission
True, but it happened for a real good reason.
leaving their computers (and in at least one case, a slew of corporate computers) virtually useless.
And who says this wasn't caused by a fault of the admin? After all, he didn't do a fresh install as recommended.
being forced into features or tools they don't want or need.
Totally wrong. No-one is forced to use/install the tools/extra's. It is their own choice. They could have chosen not to install/activate them.
By contrast, people have been PRAISING v7 in the sense they have stuck with it and want to continue to use it and they continue to like it.
Version 7 was good... Back then! Now it is not anymore. New types of threads has risen. Meaning new detection methods are needed which version 7 doesn't have and never will get. It is not only about the vps.
If you don't want the best protection for your system, keep using version 7 (or use something else).
It is very obvious you don't have a clue about computers/software and security.
Please stop whining like a little kid that doesn't get what it wants.
