	You can use it at home. I don't use a resident AV, but I scan
my HD once a month with the bootable DVD. That way you avoid rootkits
and some firmware malware.

	People were stealing their AV defs. So they put some "bait"
ones in. And PROVED they were being robbed when other vendors used
exactly the same signature checks.
	I don't think false positives can be called a threat. The M$
AV flags just about everything that has not been downloaded from their
"store" as a "virus". And nobody has ever banned them for the false
positives....
	Even stuff I write and compile on my personal computer is
flagged as malware....

	It ignores State (TLA) malware. As do all the other
American/EU AVs. Not good enough.
	I'm sure Kaspersky ignores their KGB stuff, but Russia has
practically no interest in retired Brazilian doctors...
