Microsoft has announced a plan to provide a free security software for users to compete with McAfee and Symantec.
According to this, Microsoft will stop selling the security software for personal computers and will allow users to download a free software to prevent viruses and spyware.
Microsoft intend to call this new security software Morro and it will appear in the first half of 2009, after Microsoft officially stopped providing Windows Live OneCare service to the users.
According to the statistics, Windows Live OneCare service after two years was only 2% in the security market. This is also a sign of Microsoft going down on this area compared with McAfee and Symantec.
Morro will be free to download and it is mainly for home users.
