Microsoft may introduce its anti-virus program next month, said analyst Adam Holt.

It is possible that Bill Gates will unveil the product at the RSA Security Inc. conference in San Francisco on Feb. 15.

He expects the program to be on sale in the third quarter.

The company plans to sell an anti-virus program, probably as a subscription service, to compete with Symantec Corp. and McAfee Inc., the Nos. 1 and 2 providers of such software.
