Microsoft debuts free Morro antivirus package
Microsoft's free replacement to OneCare has arrived, and it's a most unfortunately named product if you have a bit of a northern accent.
Codenamed Morro, its proper title is Microsoft Security Essentials, and apparently it's all the same underneath as the big product, but this one is free. It does all the stuff you would expect - antivirus, antispyware, scan-on-demand, plus real-time protection too.
OneCare may have got off to a rather rocky start, but there's no doubting that it ended up being a solid and reliable piece of software, despite all the tyre-kicking, wailing and generally unpleasant behaviour of various competitive firms.
