Many PC manufactures (like HP and Sony) generally opt to provide every new PC with a ‘free’ copy of Norton Anti Virus/another anti virus application which usually works for a few months before you have to pay to continue the subscription.
The problem is not very many people go for this essential anti virus protection after the trial period and thus leave their PCs open to all manner of problems.

It appears that PC Specialist (link) has clued into this and as such are now offering Microsoft Security Essentials (a truly free anti virus application) as standard on all their new PCs.

This is great news and I hope that more manufactures catch on with this to help make the world virus free!
