Microsoft has announced that it will discontinue it’s current Windows Live OneCare retail product offering on June 30th, 2009 and will create a new streamlined consumer anti-malware product code named “Morro”. This no-cost solution is good news for home / consumer PC users who are prone to not take necessary steps to have their systems protected. 

This product is not positioned for the corporate / business market for protecting servers, email systems, and business applications. This stream-lined product will lack some of the features or capabilities that a full enterprise protection suite like those offered by Trend, McAfee, or Symantec offer. Businesses should continue to rely on business grade anti-malware protection to make sure their workstations are effectively protected.
