Conceptually you're right, but if you want to get
into the computer in the first place, you'll have
to jump through some hoops. Once you're in the
computer all bets are off-- it doesn't matter if
they've got virus scanners or not. (It's not like
McAfee or Norton or Symantec ever stood a chance
against a virus that was already in the computer,
disabling the scanner)
In the end, I think that this won't change the set
of people falling victim to viruses: silly
uninformed IE users, and stupid kids who think
that they're smarter than they really are.
