Viruses exist primarily becuase of exploitable holes in the operating system. Therefore, anything needed to repair or protect against those "defects" should be free to a licenced user of that OS just as they have been for years through Windows Updates.
This should be part of the Windows Updates. After all, what incentive will Microsoft have to keep up with the updates when the latest virus threats are boosting sales of thier "Security" product.
It's just plain insulting.
