O/Ses, particularly MS, should have Antivirus software installed by default.
you do realize that this would very much make things a monopoly. It would be the IE fiasco all over again, however this time a company like McAfee or Norton, whoever would be left out in O/S incorporating virus scanning, have deeper pockets and would really feel the need to fight as they see their business dwindle. It is not Microsofts problem that users dont want to run/update virus scanners for whatever reason. In fact, this whole worm would never had begun had users ever bothered to update their copy of windows. The OS company can only put so much into the software before they start to squeeze out other companies that make the same software and are unhappy. I mean all the fuss over browsers - free software mind you- imagine what happens when software that costs money gets involved. |
