According to Neowin.net’s blog post, Microsoft is going to release a strip down version of its Live OneCare subscription service for free.  Many people who are using Windows but are not willing to pay for a yearly subscription security software often find their computers get infected with computer viruses and worms.  Though it’s unclear how Microsoft benefits by releasing free security software for everyone to use, but this move helps many people use Windows feel a bit more safe.

On a negative note, not a single security software that is out there can really provide 100% confidence that you will not get infected with viruses and worms.  Why?  New viruses and worms can be created each day, and so if you’re the unlucky one who gets infected with those first, then the security software you’re using might not have a way to recognize or remove such computer viruses and worms.  On a positive note, it’s better to have a well known security software installed on your computer to keep your data safe from well known and recent computer viruses and worms.
