Most if not all computers that are sold (branded ones at least) do come 
with an antivirus + "personal firewall" (aka snake oil firewall, as 
vernon schryver keeps saying on news.admin.net-abuse.email and 
elsewhere) package, with 6 months to a year of free updates.

What, if anything, is new about this?
