Most times, I AGREE you get what you pay for, but with virus programs, I'm not so sure. I kinda like more than one program, to either complement or extra protection myself, but I'm not sure running two programs is a good thing ( system slowdowns, other problems..) but like I said, if people are too cheap to pay for updates, then an updated free program is better than nothing.
