You're right in that RAV isn't the only anti-virus solution out there.
It's just that RAV has had a reputation as about the best
price/performance solution for the Linux platform and to have someone
buy it just to kill it is a little irritating.

Reminds me of a few years back when Symantec bought out Central Point to
kill off the competition of that piece of c***p Norton Utilities.
