Recently overheard in the hallways of Lavasoft...
One of our research analysts has had Microsoft Vista on her home machine since June when they purchased their new laptop. Yesterday, for the very first time, an alert message from the built-in anti-spyware freebie program, Windows Defender, popped up saying that it detected a threat for a file that was being downloaded to the machine. Yes, that's right, this researcher was indeed downloading a suspicious file to her machine. Keep in mind - one alert message since June!
We were so tempted to run across the bridge to the other side of the river when we saw that this rainbow had landed right outside. Was there a pot of gold? We'll never know.

We thought it would be interesting to do a quick head count at Lavasoft and we found that not only are we an international company (in the commercial sense), but we are also a company of internationals.
Within our Lavasoft team of 40 employees, we proudly represent the following countries (in no particular order, I might add):
