But, the bad part is that most home users don't update... Maybe not at all. Heck, a lot of small businesses don't update either.
And Whatever comes on the PC is probably already 6 months old.

Why can't the system builder install an AV product on the system. I'm sure if HP worked a deal with Trend or Norton for their home PC virus product, the value add would be great, at little extra cost to the end user.

When a user goes out and buys a car, other than for tags, they really don't have to go anywhere else or purchase anything else to make it usable or safe. Everything needed to make it usable is included when you take delivery. It's rather hard to explain just WHY they need a personal firewall, virus protection and a set of system utilities if it's "just for home/kid/fun" use.
