    Microsoft to fight virus writers head on

     
    Microsoft's decision could be red rag to a bull for virus writers
    Microsoft is developing its own anti-virus software to combat the malicious
    programs plaguing users.

    The move will court controversy as traditionally Microsoft has stayed out of
    the anti-virus market, preferring to concentrate on its flagship Windows
    operating system.
