    alexandrud (binisoft) was always hit hard by piracy. Mostly in the last few years. These are the consequences.

    I guess it is Avast. But it can be someone no one heard of until now.

    Avira. That is the only AV desperate enough to buy something like WFC, especially since their firewall is a joke, literally just a checkbox for Windows Firewall.

    So what version are the reg'd users here who use WFC on atm, myself have not updated since 5.0.2.0. Thinking about update to 5.3.0.0.version...

    Any reason not to since "BiniSoft.org and WFC" were acquired on 21 March and have a new owner which is whom btw ...?

    I was thinking that too about all those that donated/registered, it says we can still obtain our 'codes' for installs, but for how long will the new owners keep that? :(
