If MS starts charging for MWAS, then it is highway robbery.

They created the opportunity of the growth of the spyware problem with
years of ignoring security in both Windows and IE.

It would be like a scientist that creates a virus in the lab, releases
though sheer negligence, all to charge for alleviating the symptoms
only, while it should have prevented its release to begin with, and
being giving out a true cure for free!
