OneCare – Microsoft All-in-one Antivirus Software
Filed in: Microsoft — May 16th, 2005
Microsoft is readying a new consumer security product that offers virus and spyware protection, a new firewall and several tune-up tools for Windows PCs, a move that pits the software giant squarely against traditional security software vendors.
The product, dubbed Windows OneCare, will be tested internally at Microsoft starting this week. A public test, or beta, version is scheduled to be available by year’s end, Microsoft said in a statement this week. The final product will be offered as a subscription service, the Redmond, Washington, software maker says.

Thought:
We knew Windows is often the target of virus, spyware and hacker. Microsoft released a AntiSpyware previously and now OneCare is all-in-one security product.
As far as I know, there is no product in the current market has antivirus, anti-spyware and firewall bundled together. OneCare may be the winner and helps Microsoft monopoly the security software market.
