Microsoft to offer a Free AntiVirus program...

[Snacko]

For anybody looking into new AV solutions.

I wonder at the nerve of M$ sometimes. I also wonder why they would do such a thing, as it will certainly rattle Symantec and McAfee and likely ruin some of the smaller AV firms. Giving out a free product like this may be their way of getting a foot in the door of AV sales and I wonder how the bigger security firms will react?

I certainly won't be installing it. There's a meaning to the old proverb about "not keeping your eggs in one basket".

It might be my memory playing tricks on me here but don't MicroShaft have a bit of a crap security record for launching an AV program.

would YOU trust them?

would DUBIOUS be too strong a word?
