ZDNet: SMBs Get Free Security Essentials From Microsoft
Businesses with more than 10 computers under management will be pushed to use Microsoft’s paid Forefront security product/service.
“In an about-face, Microsoft is now planning to offer its free Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) antivirus/antimalware software to small businesses, and not just consumers.
Starting in early October, Microsoft will allow small businesses to install MSE on up to 10 PCs for free. If they need antimalware/antivirus for more than 10 PCs, Microsoft is still pushing them to consider its Forefront line of products.”
