My guess is no, because hopefully they're doing a true functionality review there. As much as we hate the week long (or longer) review process for Apple, this is a prime example where something is better than nothing!

I believe sold for $99usd and all it was, was a screenshot that said. I am Rich. Thats it. smh... some people are just stupid enough to buy whatever. And apparently 60k people thought this " anti virus" was good enough. I know its super easy to take advantage over people, but geez, this is just sick. Comments Wow, thats nothing!
