Anyone who thinks AOL is doing this out of the goodness of their hearts,

Yup. That's what I thought. 

Not having to support people who have tons of viruses saves money, and
therefore is a good idea. Making it easier for people to avoid infection is
good business, especially when you are talking about AOL's userbase (in terms
of sheer numbers and the Internet expertise of the stereotypical AOL member).
