eWeek, Redmond Magazine (and others) announced this week that Microsoft will be discontinuing support for Windows Live One Care. Although not used in the corporate setting, Live One Care is what I have been using it on my personal laptop for the past 15 months. Live One Care will be sold until June 30, 2009.

Microsoft is not out of the Antivirus business, though. By the end of 2009, Microsoft will release a free antivirus program, code named “Morro.” Yes, that is right, free.

My only concern is that my Live One Care subscription ends on August 2009. Will Morro be available? Will I be a sitting duck for viruses until Morro is released? Or will I have to buy antivirus from another vendor?
