    If you’re one of the many users who are currently running freeware anti-malware protection on your computers, you might want to reconsider your options after reading this article.

    The head of the European Cybercrime Centre, a European Union body that belongs to the Europol, said in an interview with Information Age that freeware anti-malware solutions are no good to your computer and if a user wants to remain secure in this age of cyber crime you need to consider paid versions of many of these programs as a better solution. Europol Expert Says Free Anti-Malware Apps Are Useless.

    Softpedia totally exaggerating things.

    After reading the article more than once..... i fail to read this anywhere!
    That is not what was said.
    The headline is very bad reporting.
