Microsoft to release a Free Anti Virus soloution “Morro”

Last week our article on free anti virus software was surely a hit, anti virus is an absolute must for everybody, but not a lot of people want to pay for it. Now Microsoft is also attempting an entrance into the highly competitive security market with its new “Morro” software.

According to BBC, The company is reportedly trailling their free anti-virus software internally and will be soon releasing a beta version. The software will do your every-day basic tasks of tackling virus infections but will not feature extra utilities such as parental locks found in paid-for virus scanning software.

Microsoft plan to discontinue Windows Live OneCare, their first attempt at antivirus once the Morro software is ready, in hopes it will be more successful to competing software.
