Microsoft announced today that it will offer free anti-virus and security solution for the second half of 2009. It will stop selling OneCare software by the end of june 2009 and will introduce a new software, code-named Morro which will be good for smaller and less powerful computers. The software will be free and will work on machines running XP, VIsta and Windows 7.

In a statement, Microsoft said that “Morro would be designed specifically to be a small-footprint program that uses fewer system resources. This, it said, would be ideal for users with low-bandwidth connections or computers without much processing power”.

I’m not really sure if it’s going to be as good as other anti-viruses but let’s just wait and hope for the best. Usually free software usually don’t provide that protection which other anti-virus like Kaspersky do. So lets see what happens when Microsoft release there software.
