Salesman: Here is the product go ahead and use it..
Enduser: Thanks.. kewl.. looks shiny.. lemme install this baby now!!!
Time: passing by…
Enduser: Why is my computer slow? Is it because the Hard Disk getting old?
Wisevoice: NO!!
Enduser: Why does my computer keep connecting to Internet without me asking?
Wisevoice:(hey, Melih, pls… stop using me for these kind of silly talking points!!! pls use some other name than mine)..
Melih: ok, ok Wisevoice.. chill will you..
Wisevoice1: (Melih.. thats not very original is it now!!!)..
Melih: oh bug it!!
WV (:)) : because you have a malware on your machine!!!!
Enduser: urgh?
Enduser: But what did i do?
WV: remember you visited that adult site that offered you free pics no questions asked?
Enduser: yeah
WV: remember it wanted you to download a viewer so that you can view things better?
Enduser: yeah
WV: remember you pressed YES and installed it
Enduser: yeah…..so?
WV: That is it!!! Melih, I resign!!!!
Melih: Come on WV, thats customer care… not everyone knows as much as you and I do. There are many areas we both don’t know that others do, so be patient pls, I know you are good, wise and patient come on WV. Enduser needs help.. pls help him..
WV: ok, ok… but you owe me a beer for this!!!
Melih: deal!
WV: well when you pressed YES to install that “viewer” you practically installed a malware on your system. Of course there are many other ways they could have installed that malware on your machine but knowing you, they chose the easiest method 🙂
Enduser: yeah but I paid $$$ for this AV protection…
WV: sure, whatever….
Enduser: *picks up the phone and dials 1800RingSalesman*
Phone: Ring! Ring!
Phone (again): Ring! Ring!
Someone: Si…
Enduser: Hi, I just purchased this AV protection from you and I got infected
Someone: Qué?
Enduser: hello, is that salesman?
Someone: No senior, this is Xaviar!
Enduser: damn!! *puts the phone down*
Enduser: *picks up the phone and dials 1800RingSalesman*
Phone: Ring! Ring!
Phone (again): Ring! Ring!
Salesman: Hello, NoVirus Inc, how can I help?
Enduser: ehm.. yes, thank you.. I purchased your product 3 months ago, I was very pleased with it but I now have a malware 🙁 Can you pls clean it for me?
Salesman: we only sell you a subscription service to update our product sir! We don’t clean your pc if you get infected by malware!
**Melih butting in: Go ahead and visit this URL http://winnow.oitc.com/malewarestats.php to see the detection ratio of products we all pay $billions for!! Average is less than 50%.. which means 50% of the new malware will hit us without us knowing about it! Whether you pay for AV or not**
Enduser: So what you are saying is: I pay you $$ you fail to catch 50% of the new malware and when I get infected you offer me no recourse!!?
Salesman: Pretty much sir!
WV: what did you expect Enduser?
Enduser: Well, I certainly did not expect to pay for a service that will fail me WV!
WV: welcome to the world of AV protection, this is how its done!
Enduser: I now see it WV, But I want for my money, a service where I never have to deal with malware ever again! I want to have piece of mind where I never have to deal with it!
**Melih butting in**
TA DAAAAA….. Allow me Introduce Comodo A-VSMART WARRANTY 🙂
Hey Enduser, here is a service where you can pay similar amount of $$ but Comodo will take the responsibility of failure on your behalf!
WV: What Melih means is, you pay him $$, you get infected, then he will clean it up, so you never have to deal with malware ever again! The reason why he can do that is because he has this funky product that prevents malware getting into your machine in the first place! Of course nothing is 100% when it comes to security, but his product called Comodo V3 Firewall A-VSMART (patent pending) allows him to able to that.
Enduser: Interesting, so I buy this service and if I get infected you clean my machine?
WV: isn’t that what i just said???
Melih: yes!
Melih: Now you can tick off malware from your list of worries!!!
