Microsoft to Offer Free Security
On Tuesday Microsoft said it is changing its strategy for offering PC antivirus software, with plans to discontinue its subscription-based consumer security suite Windows Live OneCare and instead offer individuals free software to protect their PCs. This protection is due to be available in the second half of 2009.
“Customers around the world have told us that they need comprehensive, ongoing protection from new and existing threats, and we take that concern seriously.” “This new, no-cost offering will give us the ability to protect an even greater number of consumers, especially in markets where the growth of new PC purchases is outpaced only by the growth of malware.”
Amy Barzdukas, senior director of product management for the Online Services and Windows Division at Microsoft.

Personally I think this is great news. With everything so expensive these days it’s nice to get a “Freebie” once in a while!
That’s all for me today, hope to see you back again soon for some more…
