If there's nothing to hide and this is only scanning for viruses, why not notify users and GIVE THEM AN OPTION? Even if it's "only" an anti-virus, having one AV running on top of another tends to slow older hardware down.

What is bad about having multiple subscriptions?

I want almost exactly the opposite of you. IMHO, nearly every single "bundle" in my life is a scam, where someone is using something I like to get me to subsidize something I think is lame and worthless. WTF do I care if I'm paying multiple entities? That's easy; we have computers now. The total is probably going to be less, and even if it weren't less, I would almost certainly get more of what I want.

What you are proposing is to lose all progress made in the last couple decades, and it sounds like I'd fund the people I like less than I do now.

I want everything as fine-grained and micro-managed by me, as possible. (And just like the billing "problem"(?), we have computers now so what's-possible is going to be damn impressive.) When I "vote with my wallet" I do not want to fucking vote party ticket!! Every time I'm manipulated into doing otherwise, it's with resentment.

The problem is, what would have been bundled as 10 things at $10 a month for the bundle, will now be sole separately as 10 things at $9 each.
