How do I turn on the superpidy duper Virus Scan on SP2

I have SP2 now and I like it. But I can't figure out how to turn on the Virus Scan feature. The Firewall and other stuff is on, but the "off" button won't change on the "Firewall" button. Thanks

Thanks but I only have three options at the bottom?

Thanks again but I have "Internet Options", "Firewall" and "Automatic Updates" buttons but no "Virus" button. Is it hidden somewhere?

There is no antivirus included with SP2; what it has is check of the status of any other antivirus (like whether they are reasonably updated or what the status of the realtime scan engine is etc).
