Microsoft To Offer Virus Defense

FridayBob writes "According to the New York Times, Microsoft plans to enter the consumer antivirus business with a subscription service next year. Most of us will remember Microsoft's assimilation of RAV Antivirus from GeCAD Software of Romania in 2003." From the article: "Microsoft plans to expand the service beyond its 60,000 employees this summer and offer an open trial for consumers this fall. No date has been set for a commercial introduction, but the executive in charge of the new business said it would ultimately be offered as an annual service by subscription."

  1. Have there been ANY Firefox security flaws yet?No. by stlhawkeye · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Thank god that Mozilla and/or Firefox would never be so vulnerable.

    I'm glad it's only a Microsoft problem, it makes it much easier to deride everything they do on the grounds that somebody is making money off of it.
