- Theres no point in having a 'trial period' since a virus killer tends to
- get updated frequent;y. (even with a trial period of 30 days, therre
- might be a new one out before the previous ones use-by date.

- Actually the report virus but don't remove it is not as useless as you
- may think, if you check files before you execute them (say straight after
- downloading the archive) then you can just delete the archive and you
- don't get the virus.

- Personally I don't care what restrictions Dave puts in the program for
- the unregistered version, as long as I don't have to register again (I
- already paid my money to JohnV.)
