The InnoculateIT freebie for home users concept has been around for a while. CA isn't the first, and isn't alone (as mentioned above).

I actually bought InnocuLAN from Cheyenne Software for an enterprise, prior to it being bought up by CA. I have long, painful experience with CA when it comes to enterprise and mid-/main-frame licensing.

Everyone thinks Microsoft is the largest software company in the world. Not so. CA is.

Now -- Free for home, charge the corporations or enterprises for the software?

How commercially viable do you really think that is? CA can afford to do this because they have so little market share to begin with. They can only expect to gain something. In this market, a couple points would be huge.

Who would be paying for the behind-the-scenes research, support and response necessary to maintain a fully functional, responsive and effective AV product? The corporate, government enterprise-level users? So, in essence you are asking the corporations and government institutions to subsidize the AV on your desktop. That probably won't wash, largely because--pound for pound and across the board--individual users pose a much larger support burden to software publishers than enterprise level customers. I doubt very much that enterprise customers would feel compelled to pay the overhead for the benefit of the home user.

Yeah, socialized software.
