Free Antivirus and Online Threat Protection - Microsoft!

Free Antivirus and Online Threat Protection?You're on the right page. The hot news is that Microsoft is about to launch an antivirus for free. However the most exciting development is that it will give real time protection against all types of online threats, phishing, link hijacking, hoax pages and web virus. All data to and from a subscribed client will run through the Microsoft data centre and be checked for threats. Antivirus have been around for some years now but never this good. The question is for how long will MORRO be free. Come back here to get news about the BETA really soon. 

Check out this quote from PCWORLD magazine. 

Microsoft's goal is to offer the antivirus product as a hosted service, which is very different from what users have come to expect, especially when the word "free" is attached to the term "antivirus." After all, Grisoft and Avast have offered free versions of their antivirus products to PC users, and those free products are of the traditional download and install nature.

Microsoft says Morro will be released as a public beta "soon." There is no word on the final release. The big question here becomes will users entrust their security to Microsoft and what may be a half-baked beta product?
