The real question is why Netflix needs anti-virus at all. Whether it be the old signature style or the new (as of about 2002) heuristic analysis style. Presumably they're turning off UAC, giving out admin privs to everyone, disabling automatic updates, and hiring delinquents that run every .exe email attachment?
