   let them sell ad space in the report. it just takes away from their credability. especially if they advert a program (e.g. norton av) to catch the issue in a particular heuristic mode--and it doesn't (but the norton said it would), then it's HexView that gets burned for doing it.

   Ads in antivirus i dont trust them so no i wouldnt.
   the lat antivirus progrom i used with ads showed itself to be a virus along with IE and yaoo toolbar.
   not files in thosedirectorys but the exe files themselves. oh, yeh, and that was on a system that i had just formated and reinstalled the OS.

   Huh?
   
   And on topic, I can't really blame them for putting in advertising, its more the hyping up that annoys me, these "security firms" like to make their own news, just like some popular UK Newspaper journalists sneaking a box marked "bomb" into Parliament ... when companies/newpapers start making their own breaking-super-important-life-altering-news you know its not with the time to read.

   Advertising is one way to make money. That's why there's an ad right below your article asking if you trust someone selling ads.
