McAfee is readying new security software, code-named Falcon, to rival upcoming products from Symantec and newcomer Microsoft.
Microsoft on Tuesday in the US released a public test version of Forefront Client Security, a new product to protect business computers against malicious code attacks.
Companies that produce security software may soon be ignoring certain spyware, and potentially even infecting their customers through auto updates, under orders from US government agencies.
Antivirus firm McAfee's president believes the company will be able to compete with Microsoft after the software giant launches its OneCare Live security products -- because security is not something you can do "part-time".
Virus experts are warning that infection rates will increase in January as users pay less attention to security as they sift through a massive backlog of e-mails.

McAfee Total Protection 2007 does what it says on the label -- it protects your PC from all sorts of nasty attacks, albeit at a fairly high cost to your system performance, especially on older PCs.
Despite a face-lift, the redesigned McAfee VirusScan Plus continues to consume system resources and leaves its customers lacking support.
Though it doesn't include a firewall anymore, VirusScan 8.0 will detect and remove adware and spyware, as well as malicious worms and scripts.
Improved customer support and spyware detection once again make McAfee VirusScan a contender, but new users should opt for a combined antivirus and firewall package instead.
