I just heard that Microsoft has released its new free antivirus.

So does that mean that it will erase the Windows OS? :krazy:

Is it trying the same monopoly game as when it launched the FREE Internet Explorer which still many find a bane till today and constantly get updates and patches.

or maybe in business prospect  
How do we access everyone’s computers with firewalls. Lets make an Antivirus coz we failed with that “An Error occurred. Microsoft needs to know about this problem.” Send.

Or better warnings.  
A Virus has been found Press Ok to restart the computer.

Your thoughts.
