IF it's not necessary - I still don't use one - I would rather educate the people who worry than install software that continuously eats up system resources.
Therefore:
1. inform/ educate - if appropriate even on the getting started screen
2. offer an AV software via Lite Software

Pretty much sums up my thoughts as well, except I voted "No" instead of "Add to Lite Software". (Not a strong "No". More or less a toss-up in my mind, but leaned to "No" because I think having it in Lite Software might encourage more people than necessary to install it.) Think maybe just having a tutorial on forum is best for the occasional exception who really needs/wants it.
