According to the Reuters, Microsoft will soon unveil "Morro", a new anti-virus offering targeted at home users. The new software, which will be offered in beta, is currently being tested internally by Microsoft employees. No specific date has currently been announced (why don’t you subscribe to our feed to learn it first when Morro is released).
Microsoft has said that Morro will offer basic features for fighting a wide range of viruses, which would likely make it comparable to low-end consumer products from Symantec and McAfee that cost about $40 per year.Three years ago, Microsoft entered that market with Live OneCare, which turned out to be a commercial flop. It announced plans in November to kill that product suite, saying it would launch the free Morro service by the end of 2009.
