Microsoft unveiles new security service
Microsoft unveiled its new security service for consumers this month. Known as OneCare, the paid subscription service will provide anti-virus, anti-spyware and personal firewall protection, as well as offering PC maintenance services such as disk defragging and file repair, and scheduled data backup to CD and DVD. Microsoft describes the service as being designed ‘specifically for people who don’t have the time or technical expertise necessary to secure and manage a computer on a daily basis.’ However, officials have indicated that, once the new service has been delivered, the company will turn its attention to developing an enterprise anti-virus offering.
OneCare is currently being tested by Microsoft employees, and is scheduled for public beta availability later this year.
