    Microsoft to release free security software soon

    Microsoft plans to release the final version of its free antivirus software soon, according to a note sent to testers late Sunday.

    "The final version of Microsoft Security Essentials will be released to the public in the coming weeks," Microsoft said in the note.

    Microsoft first announced its plans for the product, then code-named Morro, last November, at the same time the company said it was scrapping its paid Windows Live OneCare product.

    Public beta testing of Security Essentials started in June, with Microsoft reaching its goal of 75,000 testers just one day after it issued a call for them.

      yep, just what we need. low quality software, from a low quality vendor. I've tried it, its crap. well it, kinda does the job. low overheads, paid for by, distinctly, average detection rates. there are several, free security programs out there, all work better, in terms of detection. all are well supported. why change to a vendor, known for buggy, average quality software?

      Firemouth rules for life.
      If it aint broke, don't fix it!
      If its broke, fix it and use it again!
      If it proper broke, use it for something else!
