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.

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.
