I agree I have done business with GFI in the past , not that is bad however when your service with them they do hound you a lot. If they make it a division that controls its self maybe it will stay good

We just last week changed from ESET to Vipre, and I'm sorry we did now. I've been recommending Vipre to anyone who asks for quite a while now, but I'll put that on hold for a while.
