Security firms blast Microsoft for free antivirus offer

Basically security firms have a problem with Microsoft giving away free antivirus software, to those that need it, and might be able to afford it.  I think is great it would help a lot of people who might not be that well off to pay for something like that and their life is mostly spend on the computer. Some people may believe that Microsoft is a monopoly because of this but really it not.  They just have the technology to make this move and its helping a lot of people.  Antivirus software is expensive.  I’m glad I heard about this because I need antivirus software on my laptop.  There has been many times my computer has crashed because I didn't have any antiviral software on my computer.  Microsoft is being a great help to a lot of people how may need security for the computers but can't afford it.  Thanks Microsoft.
