This is the information quoted in the Support Article

My data for StockScouter, Hoovers, briefing etc?

Some data sources have changed in the new MSN.com; for example, you will no longer find StockScouter or Hoovers, but we have added MorningStar. This should provide a single source for most of this data.

As I stated earlier, use the Feedback link to request the feature be brought back.  The more members requesting it the merrier.  It takes time but I have known this to work.

    Please bring the stockscouter back. This was a tool I used constantly and now I'm lost in my research on stocks. Also, the new MSN money window is too cluttered to be helpful. Not having the drop-down options and having to scroll down is too time consuming and frustrating.

    Please, please bring the previous MSN money screen back.

    Thanks for the information and I totally agree with you MarcAtWork.  I am so surprised that MSN would pull this rating system without any warning.  I find Morningstar to be very elementary and practically useless.  Since this is a proprietary product, it seems ridiculous they have pulled it and NO ONE can use it.  I too would gladly pay a small fee to use the service.  I am a retired financial professional and relied on StockScouter ratings to help me manage my portfolio.  Perhaps MSN did not realize the importance of this rating system to those of us that used it.  It seems they are seeking an audience that is less savvy and more simplistic when it comes to stocks and investments.  They currently have nothing to offer me with the Morningstar ratings.  I join you in asking MSN to either return StockScouter to their website or allow Verus to share the ratings directly with us.

    As of 10/10/14, a source @ Verus tells me they had no idea MSN would pull the StockScouter ratings off the MSN site. They obviously know now, but are still under contract with MSN to provide the ratings exclusively to MSN. They are not allowed to provide the ratings to anyone besides MSN without permission. So long as MSN maintains the contract with Verus, MSN is the gatekeeper to the StockScouter ratings and they are not available through any other site, or even from Verus directly. In fact, Verus is still providing updated StockScouter ratings to MSN daily. MSN is just choosing to provide Morningstar now instead of StockScouter.

    I understand the best and only option currently is to give feedback to MSN stating your desire to access StockScouter ratings. I am hopeful MSN changes their mind as it seems many people only visited MSN Money for these proprietary ratings, including myself. Real money is being managed by financial professionals by using the StockScouter ratings in some capacity, including my firm to the tune of $30+ million. Even if it were provided via some paid service, I believe many of us would be willing to subscribe. If not, i'd really like to see MSN allow Verus to share the ratings with people, even if only temporarily, while they are decide what to do going forward.

    If anyone has updates beyond this regarding the future of StockScouter ratings, PLEASE share within this comment stream so we may be better informed. Thanks!
