You are implying that Viruscan updates are sold through DELL and DELL takes its own time forwarding revenues to NETA. No, I'm just talking about initial sales. I guess that the bulk of retail revenues does not come from updates but rather from sales coupled to either computer upgrades or operating system upgrades. In any event, as Edwarda pointed out, the fear is that sales were artificially boosted, which will either erode profit margins or steal sales from the following quarter. TTFN, CTC
