That could be a tough one (I'm a cheap bastard with a private/just me net).
I'm not sure what's planed but I think you need business/corporate customers
who subscribe to auto update, i.e. the Astaro firewall can be setup for auto
check/update (time based) progies, virus defs etc. Something like this is
definitely a value added service and something worth paying for when what's
behind the firewall is important (the rest of us can manually
check/download/update). Perhaps a built in support line/page, only active
when someone has a subscription.To reach that customer base you will also
need features like VPN, email virus scanner, etc.
