Haha, I like the first response, "Is this like the Mafia's 'protection'?"
But yeah, Microsoft created the market for a lot of the anti-virus/anti-spyware products, now they're trying to clean it up?
If the protection is free, then that's helpful, and I'm glad they're providing.
If the protection costs money, then they're pretty low.
Will it cost extra, or does it come free with Windows? Anybody heard?
