Free Microsoft antivirus 'coming soon'

Beta version of 'Morro' expected shortly

Oliver Garnham

A beta version of Microsoft's free antivirus software - codenamed Morro - will soon be available from the company's website, according to a report.

Reuters says Microsoft employees are already testing the software ahead of a broader rollout in the near future. The company declined to provide a specific date for Morro's release, but said the trial version would be available "soon".

Microsoft announced its plan to replace its Windows Live OneCare security software with a free antivirus product last November.

The company said at the time that Morro would help encourage more people to take antivirus seriously, claiming nearly 50 percent of Windows users don't have an antivirus tool installed on their PC"
