Microsoft’s New Free Anti-Virus “Morro” Revealed, Screenshots Inside



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...

  • I got a hold of the leaked build and thought i would post some first impressions. I did a full scan and it had found a trojan that was archived in a zip file. That was surprising since I've had the file for over a year and several other products never found it.

    MSSE seems to be built on Windows Defender. But with added malware, spyware & antivirus definitions. It also uses MS Spynet.

    Scanning time is comporable to WinDef. So far I like it a great deal. It does have the inherit problem WinDef has. Which is on shutdown, you get the user profile error that WinDef (also MSSE) has opened a registry key. This can be solved using a shutdown script to stop the service thru gpedit.
