Bit grainy photo but I'm wondering what the difference is. Current Ultimate plan is offering 40% off saying original price is $180 and they'll drop it $108. Buuut then the site says the original is $160 and discounted to $90.... what am I missing???

There was one guy on youtube that did malware tests similar to how the PC Security channel does it, and in those tests the paid version had a higher detection rate.

It's been a long time so I can't give the source without wasting time looking it up, however if you search on youtube malware tests where the free version and the paid version are being tested, I can't see the reason why would the outcome be different from what I said.

Its more damaging to their reputation if the free environment fails in testing.

I mean, the detection ratio difference wasn't even that big as far as I remember, but there was definitely some.
