Free Antivirus to be provided by Microsoft

According to a press-release dated November 18th 2008 (but which many websites only recently referred to) Microsoft will release a free antivirus software in the second half of this year.
According to the press release “… this streamlined solution will provide comprehensive protection from malware including viruses, spyware, root kits and Trojans. This new solution, to be offered at no charge to consumers, will be architected for a smaller footprint that will use fewer computing resources, making it ideal for low-bandwidth scenarios or less powerful PCs.”
