Microsoft to Launch Free Anti-Virus Software Called Morro
Microsoft plans to launch a free anti-virus solution called Morro. Morro will help find and remove iruses, spyware, rootkits and trojans. The BBC says the new service will replaice Windows Live OnCare.
Microsoft's first attempt revolved around the Windows Live OneCare service that did not succeed in turning many customers away from rivals such as Symantec and McAfee.
Microsoft plans to discontinue Live OneCare once the Morro software is ready.
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.
A date has not yet been set for the launch of Morro but a beta version will reportedly be released soon. ZDNet says Morro will be offered as a stand-alone download.
