Microsoft's free software to battle malware will be released Tuesday
through its Web site, the company has confirmed. Called Microsoft
Security Essentials, it consists of the anti-malware components of
Windows Live OneCare, for which there has been an annual charge of
$49.95. 

Security Essentials helps protect a PC against viruses, spyware,
Trojans, rootkits and other harmful software. The free service is
expected to compete directly with the lower-end offerings of McAfee and
Symantec, two of the leading providers of security software.
