Microsoft recently shut down their previous attempt at providing a security software application, OneCare, due to a big *YAWN* in the marketplace. That experience though hasn’t deterred then from trying once more but this time they’ll be going with a simple free anti-virus application.

Currently in private testing under the codename of Morro the software giant has announced it will be providing a trial version, product beta, in the near future; or to use their terminology - “soon”. The reaction from competitors in the field range from Symantec and McAfee saying they don’t see this new product from Microsoft as a threat through to “no comment” from the other security software companies.
