Why are there free anti-virus software offered online?
Question by : Why are there free anti-virus software offered online?
Is there a hidden agenda? why would they offer programs for free, how are they profiting, and i don’t want to sound paranoid but when i searched this topic, there was nothing explaining why they are available to millions for free, i mean it’s great, but i have to question what the companies motives are, i mean i doubt it’s because of their humanitarian efforts!
