Your argumentative nature sure seems to be winning friends and influencing people rapidly.

    From the Stinger Homepage:

    Quote
    While not a replacement for full fledged antivirus software, Stinger is updated multiple times a week to include detection for newer Fake Alert variants

    And like KVRT, Stinger is just a tool.

    the concern of having a disclaimer kept arising

    Speaking of disclaimers, you may want to let your readers know that it's generally not a good idea to have more than one av app running resident on their computer, lest someone downloads and tries to use them all. That is, if you haven't done that already. I haven't read over the specific page on your site that we're talking about.

    I was just reading over the following title on the Kaspersky Lab Technical Support page:

    Free anti-virus software Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2011

    http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208284232

    Perhaps someone here can tell Kaspersky (like they've told me) that it isn't "Free anti-virus software" ...?

    Interesting.

    It's Anti-Virus software, but only in the same capacity as Malware Bytes or ClamAV. People's point is that it's not a Anti-virus solution because it doesn't have on-demand scanning which important for some reason, and most importantly. it's not nearly as effective at what it is designed to do as their paid product (no surprise there, really).

    Now you're just beating a dead horse.

    You can't take one line from a page and expect to win an argument with it. You have to look at all the facts, which have been shown to you here yet you refuse to listen.

    Perhaps you should read this page again:
    http://support.kaspersky.com/avptool2010/main?qid=208281975

    Then take the time to learn what you're talking about.

    Its funny how quickly you assume that I am trying to win an argument or
    don't know what I am talking about after I merely quote the words of Kaspersky
    and call it interesting.
     
    I marked this solved and gave proper thanks to everyone including you regardless
    of your openly unpleasant tone towards my posts.

    Nothing to beat, just thought it was interesting in a funny way. Next time I'll put a
    smily face or something.
