Symantec will fight off Microsoft's security software challenge by being better at coming up with new ideas, the company's CEO said on Monday.
Microsoft has spent billions of dollars in recent years to secure its software. Now it's payback time.
Microsoft has released the latest version of its all-in-one security product, Windows Live OneCare. In beta since July, version 2.0 offers many enhancements to existing tools and offers several new tools, particularly in the area of networking and backup storage.
CA's eTrust software wrongly identified Windows' in-built security as malware, and a fix has been made available.
Apple Mac users have a good reason to feel more secure than their PC-using cousins: compared to malicious software created for Windows systems, malware writers have left OS X in relative peace.
The CTO of the third biggest antivirus firm revealed to me this week that an Apple Powerbook loaded with Unix is his "platform of choice".
If you recently signed up with Microsoft's OneCare Live antivirus service -- and you use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express -- there is a chance that your stored e-mails have been wiped out.
Microsoft launched its Windows Live OneCare antivirus package in the US earlier this year and instantly grabbed 15 percent of the market; although this may be good in terms of short term revenue, it could completely wreck everything the software giant has invested in improving its reputation for security.
Macs are banned from many government departments because there aren't any 'approved' applications to encrypt them. So why doesn't Apple CEO Steve Jobs do something about it?
Symantec is about to launch Norton 360 in Australia and although the product seems to have some interesting features, it will take more than marketing hype to persuade me that the company has stopped making bloated and unreliable software.
Microsoft's new firewall offering, included in Windows XP Service Pack 2, has a long way to go to match established products from Zone Labs and other players. Additional reading: XP SP2: The good, bad and ugly
You can’t force people to read or heed an antivirus policy. One thing a policy can do, however, is put users on notice that they are also responsible for network security.
Software giant plans subscription service offering antivirus help, automatic computer check-ups.
MSBlast has reaffirmed the importance of virus control. The option of outsourcing your AS/AV systems is getting stronger as the complexity and severity of spam and virus problems grow.
Security is an essential requirement to providing a reliable, consistent IT infrastructure. In this report, we look at how one financial concern battles viruses and showcase a string of antivirus solutions for small- to medium-sized businesses.

Eset NOD32 3.0 delivers an easy-to-use version of its award-winning antivirus engine. Although our performance testing was mixed, NOD32 continues to rank among the best-rated antivirus products by independent antivirus testing labs.
F-Secure Anti-Virus is a featherweight virus fighter that lacks the amenities of its better-known competitors.
AVG Anti-Virus 7.1 Professional Single Edition is a solid, no-frills virus scanner. But you'll need to purchase antispyware software and a firewall for complete protection.
Despite a face-lift, the redesigned McAfee VirusScan Plus continues to consume system resources and leaves its customers lacking support.
While Norton Confidential beta from Symantec aims to protect your online transactions, and its antisphishing toolbar compares favourably to Netcraft's own offering, we found the Norton package to be overly large, including many other Symantec applets that seem unnecessary.
