An antivirus software by Microsoft and it’s free
Posted in: SoftwaresSome of you probably remember, there was a time when Microsoft delivered free with its operating systems an antivirus software. Microsoft Anti-Virus (MSAV), introduced with MS-DOS 6.0, was relatively crude, but it deserves to exist.
Microsoft has since lost the habit of providing with its OS an antivirus software, leaving even for many years this market. It was not until May 2006 to see an antivirus software – not free this time – at Microsoft, Windows Live OneCare.
Microsoft should abandon it during the second quarter of 2009 for the benefit of “Morro”, an antivirus suite, and this time free. Morro, as announced necessarily lighter and efficient than Live OneCare, should be compatible with Windows XP, Vista and even the future Windows 7.
