From a long time , gossip has been in the air that Microsoft is probably going to launch new antivirus ever since it discontinued “Onecare” Antivirus. Microsoft revealed it yesterday and it is now available for download on their website.
The new free antivirus software is codenamed as “Morro”(after a beach in Sao Paulo in Brazil) is actually called ‘Microsoft Security Essentials’.Microsoft claims that its free antivirus gives full protection from Viruses, Spyware, Rootkits, and Trojans, similar to other paid enterprises antivirus software. "Morro" is likely to to compete with other anti-virus products from providers like symantec , kaspersky , AVG etc.
Dave Cole , senior director of product management at Symantec
"Morro is essentially a stripped-down version of Microsoft's failed OneCare product. It didn't offer adequate protection when it was payware , and it offers even less as freeware"
