Those people either buy from people like me (who pre-install the software), or they buy a brand..which allready has antivirus and firewalls loaded. I have not seen a PC sold in the last 4 years without that software...the ones loaded with infections are older than that, IME. Moreover, a 70-80 minute process lets me reinstall a fresh windows install from scratch without deleting any data. And no, me not being a technophile has nothing to do with it and is another example of the fact you cannot pass up a cheap shot however silly in context.
