Antivirus developers instead to do their original job, trying to shift it to application developers. You are wrong. We, as application developers don't have to care of antiviruses. It's antiviruses should care how to make it right. Let everybody make their own job. If you can't write reliable antivirus, leave the market. Today we have a lot of so-called antiviruses which hardly can be called as such. Interesting point of view.

If we do not use these protections then we lose profits. You may have heard about software crackers? These companies need to put in a way to scan the original file before it could be protected and if found positive. Deny the action. But instead you persist for all developers to lose profits!

But the antivirus crowd don't particularly care since it's not their income that is being harmed.

But not by the excellent clarity and authority (it seems to me) of your writing Igor. What i would like to read is the real truth about what an it-dimwit like me can actually DO, and if there is a browser out there that caters for the non-geek, and has built-in safeguards, but above all, has a 'help' system that I can study off-line. I recently installed Opera, but simply cannot understand how to work it, for all the beauty of its interface. Please try to find time to help me. Bob.
