Microsoft is unlikely to launch its own enterprise anti-virus software because it is not geared up to make changes to its products as quickly as traditional anti-virus companies, according to the chief executive officer of Sophos.
The first real mobile phone virus, which was found in the wild and could replicate on its own, was discovered almost two years ago.
E-commerce has emerged as the "single most targeted industry" according to the most recent Internet Security Threat Report from security software provider Symantec.
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.
Microsoft has corrected a mistake in its anti-spyware product that flagged some Symantec security tools as malicious software.
Symantec published its 10th Internet Threat Report this week and quietly admitted a few days later that its predictions of increasing Mac-targeted spyware threats have not been realised.
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.

Norton AntiVirus 2006 improves its detection and removal of spyware and adware but lags behind the more proactive McAfee VirusScan 2006.
Norton adds worm protection to Norton AntiVirus 2005, but for the price, the company should have added a full firewall instead.
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.
Norton AntiVirus 2004 now includes tools to combat nonvirus threats such as adware and spyware.
With VirusScan 2006, McAfee greatly enhances user protection against spyware and adware threats but slows your system down in the process.
