Microsoft just announced that it is discontinuing Windows Live OneCare from 2009, replacing it with a free lightweight alternative, codenamed “Morro”. The new product will be available towards the end of 2009, and provide complete malware protection to consumers, at no cost.
This is in contrast to Windows Live Onecare, which currently offers malware protection, backup, online photo backup, multiple machine monitoring and a firewall. However these features come with a price tag of around $30 for 3 machines. Windows Live OneCare subscriptions will stop being sold via retail channels from 30 June 2009, though direct sales via Microsoft will stop only when “Morro” is available.
Personally I will suggest everyone stop using Microsoft for anti anything protection. They have so many holes and bugs in their software and hardware, you would be better off with no protection.
The best suggestion I would give gamers is to chose Norton Anti virus: Gaming Edition. You can find a link where to buy this online here:

I heard from many people that the gaming edition for Norton allows you to play mmo games without any firewall blocking of any games after they update.
