Microsoft is currently preparing to release a Beta of its free Moro security software which will replace Windows Live OneCare which was pulled off store shelves two years ago.
Morro is a stripped down version of Windows Live OneCare focused more on defending against malware such as viruses, spyware, rootkits and trojans.
As a first line of defence Microsoft will rely on the firewall built into Windows 7, but to be protected by Morro customers will need to download the software due to concerns that anti-trust ruling would prevent Morro from being baked into the OS.
Morro is expected to debut at years end, although delaying the release until after Windows 7 has launched on October 22nd would seem a strange move indeed...
