That’s some news from the Windows Live OneCare Team Blog, OneCare will be discontinued and a new security solution will be released at no costs in June 2009. Don’t know how the new product will look like, but OneCare has been running on all my PC’s and I really did like it.

“The new solution will deliver the same core protection against malware but will not include many of additional non-security features found in many other consumer security suites”, according the press release of yesterday.
