Sorry it took so long guys, it was a bitch to get it past the editors

Will this just be a nicer front-end for Forefront Client Security? I'm using that now and it's quite nice, really.

I dunno how well its going to work, I havnt needed AV in two years so I doubt its going to find anything the entire time I use it :shock:

Im not sure why but Morro downloaded about 200mb of files after installation, thats inc Definitions but its still downloading even though that finished :huh:

LOL, I guess they didn't like the screenshots since it wasn't released?

X64 Install

Thanks for the link RedSoxm16.

Would this be good to install on Win7x64 as a primary AV? I have been running Avast and it is about to expire. The new 7 Builds are coming in so fast...I am trying to hold off reinstalling until "RTM".

If "Morro" is a good solution and kept up to date...I would sure run it.

just installed it...it's taking up ~24mb of memory, which seems kinda high especially since i was using ESET SS4, which was a lot less than this...can't recall the exact amount, but i believe it was less than 5mb

EDIT: nevermind, the memory usage is pretty solid...right now it's only taking ~4mb

´Please pm me too, it could be fun testing

 

[garbanzo]

the UI looks nice. i like the dark blue. but why does it have a big bold selection rectangle on the oversized tabs?

 

[sergiogarcia9]
