My favorite is the guarantee. Basically they are saying if your get infected for no charge they will reformat your machine and start from an original image. Woah. ------- WHAT IF IN 3 YEARS TIME SOMEONE DEVELOPS A VIRUS FOR THE VIRUSPROOF COMPUTER? * Currently all VirusProof computers come with a 5 year warranty on virus contamination. This means that if, within the first five years of ownership, your VP computer develops a virus, we will re-instate, for free, your computer to exactly as it was when you first received the computer.

Yeah, crazy jokes about companies who claim, "we can guarantee you absolute safety."
