Microsoft is planning to release a new free antivirus at the end of 2009. They announced Morro when Windows Live OneCare died, meaning it will no longer be sold after a certain date.
Here are some screenshots of the antivirus. If you want to read the article about Morro, go to this link. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-7-F...ts-114432.shtml Screenshots in this spoiler.

A lot of things in software are under the hood and unseen its like a car this years model may look like last years model but under the hood it may have 200 more horsepower. You just can't tell. QUOTE Looks aren't everything, but you know something's amiss when Microsoft give things away for free Thats not necessarily true either.. And the same logic could be applied to other companies who give things away but have high cost margins on other products. Apple for example.

I just read now that the name of the Antivirus will be Microsoft Security Essentials and will replace Windows Defender as well. The BETA is also scheduled to be released soon and I'm really looking forward to it! Is anyone here planning on testing it?

Unless Microsoft put in some amazing features to entice me in, I'm sticking with AVG. It seems to be just the successor to One Care, and as that had pretty awful virus detection results, Morro will probably be the same

I think Microsoft are undergoing a huge makeover. Hasn't Bill retired? Well with him out the way, maybe they can finally get away with all the things that people want and not what they want to make them money. First Bing, now this... maybe it's all planned for the release of Windows 7.

They got rid of One Care and this is supposed to replace defender so what are you getting at? I can't believe people get so confused and angry when their given a choice

Morro does anti-virus and anti-spyware and there's already Windows Firewall. Pretty much a security suite, albeit basic. This post has been edited by Cattius: Jun 20 2009, 02:30 AM |

Not that much more basic than AVG Free, but it's performance that really matters.
