Tesco Value Anti-Virus?

I'm not assuming anything here, I'm saying that I can't see it being worthwhile when free software is good enough. If OpenOffice is comparable with MS Office(and from my experience it is as near as damnit) then Tesco would have to do something special to make me even consider it, I don't know if they are going to do an antivirus but Avast has never given me a moments problem and I've also been using it for a good few years now. For DVD/CD creation I use Nero which I get OEM mostly so again they'd have to be exceptional before I'd consider it.

If Tesco does produce great products then that is fantastic but I rather hope they don't simply because I think they are getting to be way too big and I'd rather see them overstretch themselves here and have to consolidate to produce a good core business than continue to grow and end up with them being the ubiquitous company that does everything as they appear to want.
