Research your facts!

Shoddy reporting by ZDNet! You obviously didn't bother to research this or you'd know that MacSweeper never pretended to be an anti virus program.

As for F-Secure, they should be totally ashamed with themselves for making this ridiculous statement. Anti-virus companies are the first to try and push their not-needed products onto Mac users. They have absolutely no right to point fingers after all their scaremongering tactics!

If you care about the truth read MacSweepers letter:
