GIANT's AV abilities are lightweight. Even its spyware detection is blunted by politics. (if they ignore Claria/Gator since the possible acquisition, what's next?) MS AV may arrive someday. They did buy GeCAD, but whether fearing antitrust battles or whoknowswhat, no real MS AV product yet.
Ignoring Claria-esque events, trusting MS alone to block attacks goes against in-depth protection. Even if the products were written by outsiders, their ubiquity makes them the child barrier every malware author must cross.
