I would think Qbik wouldn't want to get into a position where they would be competing with those products. That's not their core business.
While some polishing of the current AV would be nice, I'd rather they spend their time making their outstanding Internet sharing product even better.

True Larry, but an A/v licence is an A/v licence, the more flexible it can be the better value it will appear to clients.
One of the cornerstone's I use as a 'pitch' to draw existing clients from conventional A/v software is that their system will get a new lease of life when this resident / persistant scanning burden is removed.
I personally loathe the time taken to deal with systems that have this model installed because of the latency it causes in disk requests [and network shares if improperly configured].
The pitch goes on, 'really the maximum risk is from the internet portal and KAV will take care of malware from this source' so to have limited skill users shown this massive benefit, will result in better market awareness for Wingate & KAV overall.
However the lead has been created by Qbik for a manual scanning interface and some users need to know how to 'prove' imported removable media in a simple and readily accessible method, this just not quite available in the current version, hence my comments above.
In fact I recall on instance this year where I 'sanitised' an whole organisation via KAV in the first Wingate installation at this location. The difficulty was extracting the scan results, manually writing them down and implementing them on the infected machines accurately.
So all round it's just 'going to get better' for Wingate users.
