    Hopefully it'll be better than OneCare and I'm optimistic that they learned from that experience. I'm surprised we haven't heard a peep about it yet.

    Funny name, in Mexican Spanish, Morro is a slang for Homie, Dude in certain regions of Mexico.

    I wonder how well does it stack up against all of the other Internet Protection Suites, it will be interesting to see what it is capable of.

    Search the forum - it has been very quiet, but it has been reporeted before - it should be somewhere in the depths of the security forum, I may look for it... let's see...

    Found it, here:

    Thanks DetlevCM. I had read that thread. What I meant was that nothing has been reported since last November. MSFT's been pretty hush-hush about it.

    That's true.

    Maybe they don't want their software bashed about by fanboys.

    Especially, as it will be free - that'll be a huge plus.

    I am looking forward to testing this new free anti-virus solution; however I am not loving the name. :no:

    It is going to be interesting to see how it stacks up against the current big three in the free anti-virus market (Avast, AVG and Avira).

    I'm pretty sure it won't be called that, Morro is just a code name.

    It's under the Security and Anti-Virus software section, so why does the title need to be corrected? :confused:

    LOL! I didn't notice XD!
    It is better to change I think.
    If you refuse, I have no problems with it.

    Microsoft's free antivirus solution code named "Morro" is to be renamed

    Microsoft Security Essentials

    Thank goodness I couldn't stand that Morro name!

    Code name will not be the release name of the product. Vista was code named "Longhorn".

    Paul seems to like it a lot. Can't wait to try it out myself on a 7 RC install.
