Microsoft: Morrow, Free Security Coming Soon

We knew since November last year that Microsoft plans to kill off its Windows Live OneCare service as of June, 2009 and replace it with a free offering called Morro . The new software, which is supposed to protect users from all the regular nasties that they can expect to find while surfing the web (spyware, adware, Trojans, viruses, and other malware), is currently being tested internally by Microsoft and a public Beta will be released soon.
The Redmond-based software giant has officially confirmed that it is testing the software and will release it as a public Beta in the near future. The catch is that Microsoft did not provide any specifics; it did not say precisely when it will roll out Morro Beta, its consumer-centric security offering.
