I believe most anti-virus software if up to date will find most virus, ie there isnt an awful lot of difference between them. A built in Microsoft anti-virus program would work well enough (MS could just buy whoever was the market leader with petty cash) but it would destroy the market for 3rd party ones. Who would buy a 3rd party product when it was included?
