Microsoft Corp. plans to roll out a minor refresh of its Windows OneCare PC security bundle to add new features for file scanning and data backup.
In a note to beta testers, Microsoft said the refresh will be shipped automatically Tuesday as part of a plan to push out continuous feature updates to keep PCs secure from emerging threats.
In the newest version, Windows OneCare will now run automatic scans of files received from the MSN Messenger IM client, a significant new feature designed to thwart the growing threat from instant message-borne malware.
