McAfee is readying new security software, code-named Falcon, to rival upcoming products from Symantec and newcomer Microsoft.
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".
In an interview with Munir Kotadia, the software giant denies Windows Live OneCare automatically deleted quarantined e-mail files, contrary to users' claims.
As Microsoft prepares to let the general public test-drive its OneCare Live security subscription service, the company is adding features requested by current testers.

Windows Live OneCare is the first of many managed online security services to debut this year. We recommend waiting, then comparing the offerings from Symantec, McAfee, and other established security vendors before deciding on a managed online security service.
