THE GIANT software maker, Microsoft said on Tuesday that they will offer individuals free software to protect their PCs and discontinue its subscription-based consumer security suite.
The free antivirus from Microsoft will be released in the second half of 2009 and will have code name MORRO. Along with the upcoming antivirus, there will be a great chance that the company will discontinue Windows Onecare Service. Morro will be better suited for less powerful PCs and low-bandwith system since it uses fewer resources than the subscription service.
Morro will protect against viruses, rootkits, spyware and Trojan. The Microsoft free antivirus will be available for download over the Internet and will work on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and the upcoming Windows 7.
