We already have enough problems getting people to use current antivirus software and implement sensible security on their computers. If they add this shit to antivirus software, even fewer people will use it.
Yeah, that's just what we need to keep viruses, spyware, spam, and phishing at least somewhat in check.
Idiots.
An easy way to solve that problem is not to use Windows (which, btw, has built-in DRM itself). That's part of the reason I use nothing but FOSS software. -- Getting people to stop using windows is more or less the same as trying to get people to stop smoking tobacco products. They dont want to change; they are happy with slowly dying inside. -- munky99999

I would agree as long as the Hardware manufacturers and ISPs don't fall for this.
Use Linux for your operating system.
And, use FOSS software that can be installed on routers.
