Bundling AV software would raise SERIOUS anti-trust concerns. As for them making it in the first place, so long as it's available for free download I see nothing wrong with it. If it's something that needs to be bought, I would be pretty wary. There would certainly be a conflict of interest, but I don't think it would be a serious one. More importantly, AV software as a source of revenue alows them to rely on that rather than making the OS better and more secure in the first place.
