Microsoft Plans to Release Free AntiVirus Program

Thankfully and mercifully, Microsoft is discontinuing the horrible OneCare security product they sold the past couple of years. However, Microsoft announced today that a new security product, code named Morro, will appear as a free antivirus product later this year.

In the story below, Microsoft states that the new antivirus product will be based on the current OneCare underpinnings. As usual, I will reserve full judgment until the product is released and tested, but I won’t be switching my recommendation from AVG, Avast or AntiVir unless this new product clearly blows the doors off these already established and respected products.

  1. I agree I love my AVG (FREE)product! I recommend it to anyone who wants to save $$$, and receive a great product.

    • AVG seems to be slowly bulging outward in terms of size, but still works very well. If Avast didn’t have the registration requirement that confuses many of my clients, I would probably recommend it over AVG…but they are both good.
