Microsoft to offer free security software

San Francisco Business Times

Microsoft Corp. said Wednesday it will offer free antivirus software for PCs.

The move by Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is a threat to independent security software makers including Cupertino-based Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ: SYMC) and Santa Clara-based McAfee Inc. (NYSE: MFE).

Microsoft said the software will be available in the second half of next year. It will replace Windows Live OneCare, which costs about $50.
