As we all know Microsoft has discontinued its security suite "One Care" and now they are working on a new Anti-virus/Anti-spyware tool codenamed "Morro".
At the moment "Morro" is under testing and is available only to a very few selected Microsoft employees but someone from the testing team has leaked 3 exclusive screenshots to Neowin.

Note that:
- "Morro" is the codename and the final name of the product will be different
- Since its under testing, UI subject to change
- It'll be available for testing very soon
- The RTM version will be available by the end of 2009
Thanks again to Neowin for the screenshots...

Cool! I hope it is as powerful as Nod32, Kaspersky and the other top anti-viruses.

Nice to see something else put there. Although I only really use COMODO firewall/anti-virus, this should be another good choice for people. I recommend COMODO, though. I've been protected for a while (I hope I'm not jinxing myself).

Hopefully this will be comparable to some of the more popular AVs.
And is this going to be free? I hope so, cause this sounds good for computer-illiterate people, especially if you can just install it and forget it.

Is this a new Windows Defender or something? I think I remember reading something about Morro replacing another free anti-virus by microsoft OneCare I think that's the name, I forgot the name ~.~ at least I don't remember atm. Yeah it is One care just saw it in the post wow >.<

In Brazilian Portuguese, my mother tongue, "morro" means: "mound" and also "I die"... =)

Could this replace something like Norton?

Finally, after i've got bored of Windows Live OneCare, switched to AntiVir, now I can go back to Microsoft once again - if really - it can outperform most of those famous free anti viruses.
