Those &*#%@ Security Suites

As someone very fresh and ouchy from a recent (and still ongoing) battle against some malware/adware that somehow got through three or four layers of internet security (all of which I paid extra for)--I found this takedown of the current crop of Intenet security suites by the Washington Post especially cathartic.

It's annoying enough just to have to pay for a firewall, antivirus, antispyware and antiadware software. Then to have them not even work... (mutter, mutter...)
