Microsoft has the commercial end of its OneCare security software for 30 Announced in June 2009. Protection from future should be free, currently only under the code name "Morro" known product for home users offer. The free anti-malware tool should viruses, spyware, rootkits and Trojans can recognize. Although Morro is the same engine as OneCare, use, but according to Microsoft less system resources are seized. Particularly for less powerful PCs with a slower Internet connection, so it was ideal.
Users of OneCare, Microsoft must now loud but have no fear that it before the expiry of their license no longer be supplied with updates or her online backup will be deleted. The software company wants OneCare until the expiration of the licenses continue to support the sale ends but in any case the middle of next year.
Morro will be compared to the non OneCare security features such as backup and system are missing. Microsoft wants Morro as a single product in the download for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 to offer. The Redmonder hope that with the step, even more users to protect against infections can.
However, the project is likely to be back the other producers of antivirus solutions on the plan call. Symantec had already in 2005 when the EU Commission complaint filed when the Redmonder antivirus and antispyware solution with the name Microsoft Client Protection in Windows (Vista) wanted to integrate.
In addition to the current OneCare, Microsoft still offers its enterprise solution to Forefront. Home users can also purchase their PC with the Malicious Software Removal Tool to investigate. Vista Windows Defender attempted attacks. According to Andreas Marx of AV-Test could be the Windows Defender in Vista quickly become a real virus scanners convert, as the scanning engine of the virus scanner was the same as that of the spyware scanner - only the AV databases would be missing. But this could quickly retrofit.
In the products are also different scan engines for use, so Microsoft's antivirus strategy users currently rather confused and the use of alternative products moving.
