originally vista designed to have its own anti virus along with anti spyware and fire wall and many other system performance tune up tools

but as far as i know, Microsoft changed their mind and made this package for sell (also to xp users, here is a link http://www.windowsonecare.com/) ans so vista users who are'nt willing to buy it will probably have the same free defense programs (like the simple built-in firewall and the free windows defender)

here is another link to an article about the vista's anti virus issue

Blast in Pakistani Capital

STORY: This is the scene of the latest bombing in Islamabad. Tangled mettle and rubble is all that is left of this police headquarters. The bomber managed to breach the security cordon and gain access to the building. Police said the attacker was carrying two baskets of sweets. He presented one to a policeman, and detonated the bomb. Islamabad's chief of police wants to know how security was breached. [Asghar Raza Gardazi, Chief of Police]: "There are three injured people. There are many questions which we want to find out - how did the vehicle have ingress inside? Because we have (given) instructions to them that all the vehicles should be parked outside. There was a parking (lot) made outside the police lines for that purpose. We have yet to see how did it have ingress." The number of casualties is low, as most of the police were on patrol close to the parliament building, where the newly appointed intelligence chief was briefing the government on security issues. But the blast comes at a time when security forces in the country are on high alert. More attacks are feared as Pakistan intensifies its offensive on militants in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.
