Free antivirus from Microsoft predicted by analyst would threaten existing sustainability the company anti-virus such as Symantec, McAfee and others. “Plan the Microsoft antivirus to release free antivirus is very good news for consumers. However, this news apparently was not enough fun for the competitors, “said PC industry analyst of Endpoint Technologies Associates Roger Kay, as quoted by Reuters.

This discomfort apparently presented from one of the major antivirus companies in the world. Through Symantec’s Senior Director Dave Cole, the company said that antivirus and antispyware Microsoft products have wrong meaning in the actual security software. “Users need a PC network security super tight, extra firewall protection, and other features that can only be obtained through subscription security program,” said Cole during media session.

However, Microsoft disputed the company will compete directly with Symantec, McAfee or others. One of the goals to release of free software, the Microsoft spokesman, Theresa Burch, said, is to give comfort to the PC users who have not yet had time to buy anti-virus on his PC. Moreover, Microsoft asserts, it is only used for the fight against software-virus which has the potential of endangering your PC. While the full protection such as encryption, firewall, data backup, and parental control, will still rely on support from the famed antivirus company.

Nevertheless, during teleconference sessions with market analysts, Rob Enderle from the Enderle Group said, consumers do not consider important features are the most important because they are free patterns offered. “If something is good, and offered free of charge, for what we have to buy?” Firm Enderle.

These well-founded concerns. The Microsoft antivirus products offer the same as that offered by ordinary Symantec, McAfee and Trend Micro with the subscription cost as much USD40 per year.
