Microsoft is putting consumer antivirus makers on notice Tuesday, when it will release the beta of its Microsoft Security Essentials, a new anti-malware suite. Unlike its predecessor, Live OneCare suite, a subscription service which is being phased out, the new software will be offered for free to consumers.

Like traditional antivirus software, the new software detects changes to the file system resulting from operations such as copies, installs, or downloads. If the file signature matches a known threat, the operation is blocked and the user is warned.

Worth a look at. NO idea how it'll work with the "Old Faithfuls"?

Microsoft is restricting the number of downloads to 75,000, so it isn't going to be available to download for very long! CLICK HERE
