Microsoft's free security software is almost here (in beta form, anyway). Microsoft intends to make Morro available as a download next week on Tuesday the 23rd, and you'll want to act fairly quickly in order to get a copy.

On Tuesday, the first 75,000 individuals to visit www.microsoft.com/security_essentials are supposed to receive access to Morro, or, as it's also known, Microsoft Security Essentials. Microsoft's not making any promises beyond that point.
Of course, the company might expand the offering, depending on demand and so long as its servers don't get swamped. Just don't say we didn't warn you.
Anyway, Microsoft Security Essentials is supposed to remove malware, spyware, and viruses, and provide real-time protection against malware and viruses, too. And although part of the reason it's being put out in a limited batch is so that further tests can take place, reports say that the software's in decent shape.
Ed Bott, for example, recently tested it and wrote, "I'm sufficiently impressed by MSE in operation to give it a more in-depth workout on multiple systems here."
So if you're looking for an alternative to other free forms of protection, consider staying especially near your computer on the 23rd.
