Here's a warning that's a tad bit too late

Funny stuff!

I used to use Trend Micro for the AV client on my computer.  I have since switched to Windows Live OneCare. 

I received an email from Trend Micro *today*, telling me that my AntiVirus coverage expired *last week*.

Of course, it goes on to give me information about renewing, but what kind of security company would warn the user a week after they were vulnerable??

==============
