Titolo: Microsoft Antispyware FINAL sarà FREE

Come potete leggere in questo comunicato, Microsoft ha annunciato che
Microsoft Antispyware versione FINALE sarà completamente FREE. Alla
faccia di chi diceva che non lo era!!!
SAN FRANCISCO--Ending speculation about whether it was shifting to a
paid model, Microsoft said on Tuesday it will provide customers with
its new anti-spyware software for free.
The pledge, made by Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates during his keynote
speech kicking off the RSA Conference 2005 here, comes after the
company had been testing its anti-spyware beta--technology that it
acquired when it bought security software maker it Giant Software.
"Just as spyware is something that we have to nip down today, we have
decided that all licensed Windows users should have that protection at
no charge," Gates said.
The initiative is part of Microsoft's efforts to strengthen security
for home and business users of its Windows desktop software. Consumers
are not always aware of the dangers of such threats as spyware, viruses
and 'phishing.' A study published last October found that more than 80
percent of consumers had been infected by spyware.
While Microsoft turned its attention to general software security three
years ago with its Trustworthy Computing Initiative, the spotlight on
consumers began a year and a half ago, after the MSBlast worm infected
millions of home PCs. The worm taunted Microsoft's founder with the
message: "Billy gates why do you make this possible? Stop making money
and fix your software!"
Microsoft introduced the beta, or test version, of its Windows
AntiSpyware application last month. The program is designed to protect
Windows PCs from spyware--software that is installed on computers
without their owners' knowledge. Typically, spyware generates pop-up
ads or keeps track of people's Web surfing.
During his speech, Gates also said that Microsoft will release a new,
more secure version of its Internet Explorer browser, which will launch
separately and in advance of the next version of Window. IE 7.0 will
use security features available in Microsoft's most recent security
update to its operating system, Windows XP Service Pack 2, he said.
The company also plans to bring together its various update services
and offer a single place to get security updates for each class of
customer. The software giant will centralize Windows, Office and
application updates through a consumer service called AutoUpdate, Gates
said.
Small and midsize businesses that have many PCs to manage and that want
some control will be offered another service, dubbed Windows Update
Service, he added. Large companies can exercise more control using
Software Management Server, also known as SMS.
Customers last got a major security upgrade from Microsoft in August,
when the company launched Windows XP Service Pack 2, aimed at locking
down computers. The operating system revamp took more than nine months
to complete and added a central security interface, a better firewall
and several under-the-hood improvements to lock down Windows PCs.
The software giant has recently been making buys to bolster its
security line-up. In December, Microsoft announced it would buy Giant
Software, a maker of desktop anti-spyware tools. Last week, the
software giant announced it planned to buy enterprise security software
maker Sybari, a business-focused move.
