MICROSOFT will begin selling a personal computer antivirus service as part of a plan to compete with Symantec and improve the security of its Windows operating system.
Windows OneCare Live will cost $US49.95 ($67.90) a year for use on up to three computers, Microsoft general manager Ryan Hamlin says.
A free trial will be available in May and the software will go on sale in June.
Microsoft has spent almost four years building the service to bolster security after attacks on the company's programs angered customers and led them to consider alternatives.
The company is entering the market more than 15 years after Symantec, saying current antivirus products are insufficient because 70 per cent of consumers don't have up-to-date virus protection on their PCs. (link)
