the whole userspace design in 7 follows the same base concepts from Vista, and they should not rely on 3rd party AV for protection from basic intrusion/attacks. even free apps like Spybot S&D or Malwarebytes (full version) can deal with this, and they already have Windows 7 versions. but it is true, when asking someone to shell more money to protect the OS from malware, besides viruses, any PR rebuttal becomes mandatory (just in case you wondered, if you run Windows 7 you can get Malwarebytes with realtime protection and scheduled updates for 20% less using a coupon from http://news.dtcdeals.com/malwarebytes-coupon-code)
