Yes, isn't it blatant? MS makes defective systems that attract
malicious software (viruses) then claims its anti-virus SW is an extra
added attraction. No doubt they monetize it somehow.Too baroque for me.

The apt cache description of xbill (qv) is just right: 

"Ever get the feeling that nothing is going right?  You're a sysadmin,
and someone's trying to destroy your computers.  The little people
running around the screen are trying to infect your computers with
Wingdows [TM], a virus cleverly designed to resemble a popular
operating system.  Your objective is to click the mouse on them, ending
their potential threat. If one of the people reaches a computer, it
will attempt to replace your operating system with the virus it
carries. It will then attempt to run off the screen with your vital
software."
