I can just see the virus protection software making changes to their notifications to keep track of attacks that could cost people money and list it in a tally window: "You've saved $764 in internet fines this year because you used Morton AntiVirus 2005! Want to upgrade to the Pro version?"
The Pro version will include an insurance plan in case you go on vacation for a week and leave your XP box on and a new exploit surfaces while you're gone.
