| Vista Ultimate SP1 x64 | Re: Microsoft announces free antivirus, limited public beta This may seem like a stupid question. But why not simply merge the AV & windows defender & have them install as part of the windows installation. Also why didnt MS take the firewall from onecare & use it instead of the default windows firewall? Simply having an antivirus app is not enough any more. |
