What strikes me about this particular solution by AVG is how incredibly ... stupid it is on several fronts. 1. Noticeably impacting a users bandwidth is, technically, a security breach in the first place, aka Denial of Service Attack. 2. Some of us live in countries that have rather severe bandwidth charges/limits and the like, whom shall I send my excess bandwidth bill to? ...(this) method is fundamentally flawed. ie malware ignores any first request and only infects on a second request - alternate cloaking. Whatever. This type of "solution" only provides weak protection for a strictly limited period of time. ...not just "no security" but bad security. Because folk feel they are being protected when they are not, and hence will take greater risks and hence inflict greater harm on themselves. :-( Ignoring the balance of positive to harm that this problem inflicts on the users who use this product.
