Microsoft offers security service

The "service" they should be providing as a part of the OS? You mean a service that is necessary because the base system encourages viruses?

So, let me get this straight...I am being asked to purchase a "service" to fix a problem that the service seller caused/propagated/encouraged in the first place?

Oh, gee...where do I SIGN UP???

Someone want to Give Ballmer a call and attach a link explaining the RICO act to him?

Remind me to get Dave to add a Humor section to the site.

You should be nervous if the man that just sold you an airplane starts pitching parachutes.

Not only is this putting the fox in-charge of the hen house, but paying him for the privilege!

Yup, the boat isn't sinking. It's just that the water has become rebellious and sneaky and is attempting to invade the boat in a manner likely to upset the craft. This is not in anyway the fault of the boat maker, despite the holes being a blatant design flaw that have known about for years and you must now purchase some "bung me boat" plugs and fit them yourself.

Please remember the circling sharks are in fact the MS License police and the BSA and are supposed to look hungry, mean and threatening.

Failure to purchase "bung me boat" plugs will result in a feeding frenzy with you as dinner.

Don't forget that all those boats littering the bottom of the harbor are due to silly users not patching properly. You can't really blame the manufacturer if the user fails to keep the boat in perpetual dry-dock for continuous refitting.
