I bought .Mac with Tiger, and I am almost positive that Virex was listed as one of the features. It was then removed soon after. Isn't it business fraud to charge me for something that I'm not getting? One of the primary reasons I bought .Mac was Virex. Of course, I just discovered clamXav, but that's a different story...

1) Virex was pulled because it didn't work well with Tiger.

2) Why would you want to use an app that didn't play well with the OS?

3) It may come back once the bugs are worked out.

4) If you read the details, .Mac offers some features, many of which expire after a certain time.

5) You shouldn't cry fraud unless you read the fine print.

Up till a few weeks ago, you could get the older version of Virex but that was pulled as well.
