Peaches Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 12 June 2009, 15:31Morro, Microsoft's free anti-malware tool, in beta soon "Media reports say Microsoft is already testing Morro, its promised new anti-virus product, on its own employees. It will shortly offer a public test or beta version for downloading, but no precise dates have been given. There isn't much more new information yet. When heise Security asked Microsoft Deutschland about it, press spokesman Thomas Baumgärtner could only confirm that Morro is scheduled for the second half of 2009.Morro is a replacement for OneCare, the more or less unsuccessful commercial security software whose termination as of 30 June 2009 was announced late last year. The free anti-malware tool will be able to recognize viruses, spyware, root-kits and trojans. Although Morro is going to use the same engine as OneCare, Microsoft says it will grab fewer system resources and so be ideal for less powerful PCs with slow internet connections."More details at Heise security - http://www.h-online.com/security/Morro-Mic...n--/news/113521 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
