Transcend releases Anti-Virus USB drive with a fatal flaw

Ha! Not surprised.

Like they'd put a full 1-year AV on something that devalues as fast as a low end USB stick! Trend Micro sells their antivirus+antispyware for $40/year for the home version. Current Jetflash drives go for $10-15 for 4GB and $15-30 for 8GB (not the V15, the V20 and V30). In a few months they'll be giving 4GB drives out in cereal boxes, why would anyone ever pay for their AV software when the drives cost 1/4 that?
Not that I ever pay much for AV software anyway. Most "viruses" seem to come from torrented cracks for extremely popular software, yet mysteriously if the file is uncompressed, executed, and then removed from the system all the AVs that were screaming bloody murder when the original zip file was saved suddenly can't find anything wrong, and the system never has issues... And "inferior" (read open source) AVs can't seem to detect anything... hmm...
