Microsoft lets consumers try new securit

Microsoft Corp. on Wednesday started giving computer users the chance to test its new security service as the world's largest software maker took its biggest step yet into the lucrative consumer security market.
The company is making its Windows OneCare Live service available for free in a "beta," or test version, to help it work out any potential problems before the product's likely introduction next year.
The service, which offers anti-virus, firewall, backup and recovery, as well as personal computer maintenance, will eventually be available for a subion fee, said Microsoft spokeswoman Samantha McManus. The company has not yet determined how much it will charge. "This is the first major step for Microsoft into the consumer security market," McManus said, noting about 15,000 customers have been taking part in a limited test since June.
