Microsoft is providing its all in one security software from the end of June 2009. This is a surprise move by Microsoft since it has the strategy of not providing any programs free of cost.The antivirus software is called "Morro", and will be suitable for smaller and less powerful computers.
It will support the operating system like Windows XP, Vista and upcoming version "Windows 7."
Microsoft has made this transition because "OneCare" service is booming in the field of security software and hence Microsoft is afraid of losing its market in the particular field. This is another business strategy of Microsoft.

Since its launch in May 2006, OneCare has garnered less than 2% of the security software market share.
In a statement, Microsoft said that Morro would be designed specifically to be a small-footprint program that uses fewer system resources. This, it said, would be ideal for users with low-bandwidth connections or computers without much processing power. (ref bbc news)
