Microsoft plans to ship a new security product in June, charging $49.95 [EUR 42] a year to shield up to three PCs against viruses, spyware and other cyberthreats, the company said on Tuesday. Called Windows OneCare Live, the product marks Microsoft's long-anticipated entry into the consumer antivirus market, which has been the domain of specialized vendors, led by Symantec and McAfee. Microsoft announced its intent to offer antivirus products in June 2003 when it bought Romanian antivirus software developer GeCad Software.

I never thought that they would be able to fix every flaw that allowed spyware for a virus. Windows is a complicated product and there are probably some structural designes which make it difficult. However, I had hope that they would still make and effort to try. Now I don't feel that way. It just seems wrong that they are trying to make money from a failing of their own product.
