Microsoft to Give Away New Anti-Virus Program

Microsoft is nothing if not persistent. Despite the failure of Live OneCare to take off in the anti-virus department, MS really wants a presence in that space. To facilitate this, it appears that they are working on a program called Morro that will supposedly be given away, a la other free suites like Avast Home Edition or Avira. Look for a beta soon.


No specific date has been given for when Morro will be released, but in the past Microsoft has said it would be out by the end of 2009 at the latest. Microsoft said Morro would tackle viruses, spyware, rootkits and trojans.
