These AV companies keep merging because they can’t compete with Microsoft Defender, eventually there will be 2 or 3 left with 1 or 2 free AV’s left me thinks.

The only one to benefit from these mergers are the shareholders.

An excellent insight.

The link you provided led me to buy subscriptions, but if I go via Google search I can read the topic with the same URL. Strange.

The topic itself is a good read.

It’s also available here,

This article could use some proofreading. How many different ways can they spell Mr. Vlcek’s name? It’s difficult to read starting with the first sentence.

What I get out of this is that 1000 people are going to lose their job.

Contact the writer. I’m only passing along the information.
