Microsoft Drops OneCare Antivirus Product

Microsoft will discontinue retail sales of its Windows Live OneCare product at the end of June next year. Microsoft will instead offer Windows users free antivirus software, code-named Morro. Morro will use less system resources than OneCare and have fewer features. Moro is expected to ship by end of 2009 and online OneCare sales will be gradually phased out. OneCare failed to challenge the dominance of antivirus leaders such as Symantec and McAfee in the market. Microsoft shook up the antivirus market when it began selling OneCare in May 2006.”]
