EC Watching Microsoft Security Moves

Rob writes "The European Commission is looking into Microsoft Corp's recent moves into the desktop security market, according to Symantec Corp, one of the companies that stand to lose the most if Microsoft leverages its monopoly to compete. We've not filed any official complaint," a Symantec spokesperson said. "We've responded to a request for information from the European Commission... we were not proactive, they came to us." Microsoft announced last week that it will offer an enterprise desktop security package comprising antivirus, antispyware, firewall and centralized administration. That's in addition to its OneCare consumer offering, currently in beta."
