See now what was the point of that last sentence? Or indeed the second sentence of your post. We are conducting a debate and for you to insult me at the start and end of your post is immature and does nothing for your arguments.
I am not going to say anymore on this matter since I do not see the need for me to reciprocate to something I hope was written spontaneously and without due consideration. I am quite happy to continue this discussion with yourself and others.

You have a problem with facts. Firstly, when I raised the question of the EULA that everyone has to agree with, you came out with “
You can remove the tin foil hat now”. Why you had to come out with that insult is beyond me, but it meant I had to defend myself. There was no cause or justification for it. Then, when posted the EULA, You had to do it again, you had to throw another insult, and again I was forced to defend myself. There was no way you could justify “
He was asking for proof that your goat porn”, so why you had to throw it is beyond me. Even your last post had to contain an offensive remark that was aimed at me and was uncalled for, there was no justification for “
Calling NOD32 junk is just you being ignorant”.

As for SiriusB, perhaps now he's promised to ignore the thread the insults and thread trashing might stop I had no choice because of your continual offensive remarks that were directly aimed at me. In this case, I meant every single word. I can’t stop you throwing those offensive remarks at me, but don’t ever think I won’t defend myself against every one. Don’t ever think that because you would be very, very wrong.
In this thread there have been people that have disagreed with each other, but not one has stooped to your level, not one.
To get back on topic. If I walked up to a company man with the most awesome anti viral program on the planet, and handed him a contract with the EULA on it they would walk away, maybe even run. To sign that document is to say that they are prepared to allow private company records to be uploaded to another company. If he said yes ok I’ll do it he would probably get fired. If he signed it and the DPA people found out, he would get a visit from the DPA people. Now those guys have awesome powers, and I mean awesome. Firstly they would snoop his computer with a fine tooth comb. Now this man is a company man using his computer on a company mainframe. The DPA people would be duty bound to go to the company and snoop those computer as well. They have to check that this guy is unique, and that those within the company with this program have never uploaded any material covered by the DPA.
This isn’t fantasy, it isn’t dream world stuff, the moment the guy signed that document he runs the risk of a swoop by the DPA. Whether or not the upload element is disabled, the signing of that document saying he’s willing to do it is enough to kick-start everything. When a person downloads NOD 32 and installs it they sign that piece of paper. And no matter how remote this all is, the threat is there. It would be foolish for any man with a computer that is used for database or spreadsheets to agree to that EULA. That EULA makes the software one with risks, and not many would want to risk the awesome powers of the DPA. That software is a pile of junk to every doctor, accountant, or person on a company network, etcetera. It’s a pile of junk because that stupid EULA make makes it so.
