sorry but I cannot recall a time where windows ever did protect against viruses...

^^true - Windows virus protection is provided by 3rd party companies - it has never been provided by Microsoft itself. Which is strange. Norton and McAfee make money off their subscriptions, and get to install all the spyware they want, since they can conveniently ignore themselves in their spyware searches. This sounds like a lucrative business that Microsoft would want to get into. But oddly, they never have. Maybe because offering virus protection to their own insecure OS is bad PR.
