The situation is further complicated by the fact that F-Secure OEMs the
F-Prot engine from Frid Skulasen (Frisk Software), who wrote F-Prot in the
late '80s.  F-Prot is an excellent engine, and I second Eric's
comments.  But now there's another license to pay, and the margins just
aren't there.  Good thing Frid is a nice guy, with the interests of users
at heart, or you'd be paying a lot more...
