After three years of sluggish sales, Microsoft's Live OneCare PC health service is about to be replaced by a free service that will focus much more tightly on security and malware protection.
The free service, codenamed 'Morro,' is currently in internal testing within Microsoft and will begin public beta testing "soon," according to a company spokesperson. The company has said Morro will be released by the end of the year.
Microsoft first announced Live OneCare in May 2005. However, the service itself actually didn't launch commercially until almost exactly a year later.
