Saturday, June 27th, 2009
Well, cost-cutting has indeed been the buzz word, whether it be inside an IT company or your house. Folks who did not mind blowing off few bucks on purchasing paid anti-virus and anti-malware rookits removal programs like the MacAfee, Norton, Avira, Kaspersky and the likes of them, have now started considering the freeware.
There are has a good drop in the level of sales of the paid anti-virus programs. However, the most shocking thing in this regard has been the fact that looking at the current economical slowdown even Microsoft has decided to roll out a freeware in the market, which will be called the Microsoft Morro!
The beta version of the Microsoft Morro is going to be released within next few weeks, and it will directly compete with the premium paid software like Norton, Symantec, Avira, MacAfee and the likes of them.
Probably, Microsoft has just read the mindset of the customers, and decided to make a stylish entry in the world of freeware. MS has been the biggest anti-open source giant, who has never encouraged open source goodies and free stuff.
But, when even an industry giant like Microsoft has decided to change their business angle, it is indeed a red sign for all the others. Till date, AVG had been the master freeware in the world on anti-virus programs. The AVG free protection program is acclaimed to be as popular and as useful as the premium ones, but now it looks like it may have a big brother in form of the Microsoft Morro!
So, if you’re using the paid anti-virus packages, it is about time you gave it a good thought and analysed the sheer fact whether the paid anti-virus software are truly worth your money?
