Software major Microsoft Corp is now planning to launch free anti-virus service for personal computers and is competing with other anti-virus software production firms such as Symatec Corp and McAfee Inc. Presently the product is under testing and will soon make a trail version(Beta version), which would be available through its website.
The free version contains basic features for fighting with different range of viruses and is named with code-name “Morro”. Previously Microsoft entered market with Live OneCare which was a flop and then the firm announced that it will come out with free service by end of 2009. Though Microsoft said, users can get protection from several types of malicious software, viruses, spyware, rootkits and Trojans the competitor are not seeing Morro as a threat. Symantec Consumer division president said that a full Internet security suite is required for both business and personal use which gives complete protection that anti-virus software cannot give. Another security software maker McAfee which is No.2 in makers of security software said, though they are number of free anti-virus software's in the market it is still enjoying its position and growth. He also said the firm is ready to meet the competition from its competitors.
