I installed it and joined the microsoft connect. From UK, there was no problems in signing up or getting to download the beta from the link given above – https://connect.microsoft.com/securityessentials/Survey/NominationSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=8655&ProgramID=3387
Also, the program has already come up and stopped me from accessing a file which I know to be a file patcher (not a virus but a usual false positive) and the MS Morro managed the situation well giving me the option to ‘Quarantine, Delete or Allow’ so it was really fast to add it to an allowed list, just a matter of selecting ‘Allow’ and it is now excluded in future scans etc.
In my NOD32 it is a bit more of a hassle than that and a lot of other things are too.
The thing with Morro is, how do we know exactly what it is doing, what is it scanning, for what and can it catch things from emails and other ways of infection or is it just scanning opened or created files…?
I must try to learn these things today!
