Although Microsoft's anti-malware products are pretty good, this move could drive many competitors out of business and create a dangerous security monoculture.. and you can see that major rivals will be lawyering up already. On the other hand, many malware infections could be prevented even by basic software.. so is this going to be a good or bad thing overall?"
