   I'm thinking the real cost to them is very low and including it will   
   increae sales of Malwarebytes, which has to be hurting since MSoft has   
   improved the built-in AV program.   A review said it was missing some   
   features like a password handler, but I don't want that anyhow.

   Last time I went out of the country it was to a) watch a free movie on   
   the service my public library is connected to (but I never really had   
   time to watch a movie) and b) to listen to American web radio,   
   especially news, since there was no English language radio on the radio   
   in the rental car.  My interest in news has waned, but not entirely.   I   
   do need to hear some English, but I don't know/remmeber if youtube   
   videos were a problem without the VPN I eventually got.
