Microsoft plans to start selling Windows OneCare Live in the US on Thursday, three years after it announced its intent to move into the antivirus space.
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".
Yahoo's e-mail service is not infected with a computer virus, despite a warning from Symantec that says it is.
In an interview with Munir Kotadia, the software giant denies Windows Live OneCare automatically deleted quarantined e-mail files, contrary to users' claims.
Microsoft likes to keep its friends close -- and now that security companies are its foes, it may well want to keep those even closer.
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.
Consumers now are getting more for less of their money when they buy security software.
You cheat, you lie and you're unwilling to change. Well, I've finally had enough and there's nothing you can say that will make me change my mind.
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.
You can't beat the price. For a good, basic internet security suite, we recommend Trend Micro Internet Security 2009.
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.
