Microsoft's Free Security Software Debuts
- by Todd Bishop TechFlash
Last November, Microsoft Corp. announced that it would phase out its Windows Live OneCare subscription security service, effectively replacing it with a free antivirus and antispyware program. That program, Microsoft Security Essentials, debuted Tuesday as a public test version for users in the U.S., Israel, China and Brazil. It works on Windows XP, Windows Vista and the Windows 7 beta and release candidate.
Security software vendors will no doubt be watching closely to see how the new Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) program is received.
