Microsoft to Ship New Malware Protection Utility
LadyDarth writes "Microsoft introduced on Thursday a new program called Client Protection that will help to combat viruses, maiware and spyware in the corporate environment. Paul Bryan, product management director in the enterprise security division at Microsoft, said in an interview with BetaNews Wednesday night that Client Protection's aim is to 'make sure people have fewer security products' to concern themselves with. Responding to concerns that it was stepping on its partners toes, Bryan admitted that Microsoft has 'knowledge and an understanding of the capabilities of the operating system' that its partners may not have. But he said that information would not be hidden."
more Claria shananigans on the way then?
That should be "Microsoft to Ship New Malware, Protection Utility".
Will it clean explorer.exe from my system?

Client Protection's aim is to 'make sure people have fewer security products'
Sounds like a monopoly practice to me.
So does that mean it will protect mt PC from Windows Vista?
No no, it's not hidden, it's in the basement...with the broken stairs..and no light, in the cabnet marked 'beware of tiger'.

Why the hell would I want a utility that protects malware? That's just so Microsoft...
Microsoft to ship new Malware Production Utility, codename Vista.
Vista, Microsoft's innovative new Malware Production Utility, allows partners and advertisers to easily create Malware with their "easy to use" software development toolkit and utilities.
Vista is guaranteed to provide you with a lower standard of security, and the slow system response you have come to expect from the Microsoft product line. Microsoft claims Vista will increase your chances of a "sensitive information leak", while providing the end user with a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than Linux. Microsoft expects Vista will be ready for production, and will begin shipping August 2010.
