I'm not bashing Microsoft. Why would Microsoft want Google to gain more market share. If MS is smart they will try to make a competing product and go against this site maps idea. I just was failing to see why Microsoft would jump onboard a product by one of their main competitors in the search engine market.
Symantec has launched the beta test version of its anti-spyware application, which will be sold from June as part of its Norton Internet Security 2005 application.
Symantec has in the past faced heavy criticism for security vulnerabilities and usability issues with its Internet security products, especially those applications targeted at the consumer and small business market.
Norman Kohlberger, senior regional product manager for Symantec Asia Pacific, said the main aim of the new product, which will be called Symantec Internet Security AntiSpyware Edition, was to make PC security as easy as possible for the end user.
"Users are saying, 'I don't want to know all the nitty gritty details, I don't want to know the technical stuff, just let me do what I need to do on the Web'. They just want it to work," said Kohlberger, who believes that PCs are becoming a part of everyday life and thought of as domestic appliances.
"The computer is not a toy anymore. It has turned into a toaster and microwave -- it has become an integral part of the home environment. We have to reduce the complexity. People do not want privacy software, firewall, antivirus, spyware, adware and blended threats. The average individual is saying I don't want this anymore. Just fix it. What we are doing is reducing the complexity," said Kohlberger.
He said the new edition was an improvement on its predecessor because it not only protected the users' personal data, but included real-time spyware and adware scanning.
"The challenge we had in earlier products is that we did not have real-time detection and did not remove [spyware] if it was on your system. Now we are going to take the next step," said Kohlberger.
Kohlberger said security vendors had to keep improving their products because the next generation of malware is being developed by organised criminals intent on making money from their victims.
"They are being driven by well funded, highly organised groups of individuals. Call them what you want - mafia, criminal elements -- but it pays. Our research shows they are getting on average a response rate of between three and six percent, which is something any marketing company would be happy with," said Kohlberger.
The beta version of the AntiSpyware application can be downloaded from Symantec's Web site. The full version will only be sold as part of the Norton Internet Security application from June and will cost AU$150.
The release of Symantec Antivirus Corporate 9.0 (and possibly earlier versions?) has included spyware checking, and it came out late last year. It's built into the antivirus scanner as opposed to being a standalone utility.
>>it also stops suicides as the inner doors only open when a train is stopped.
I don't imagine it would be very difficult to wait until a train is there, walk through the first set of doors, do not board the train, wait on the platform for the next train, and jump in front of it. Doesn't sound like it does very much for avoiding people trying to kill themselves.
You ever think he changed his password to 2222 in order to not tell you his real password? i always change my password to something silly when i give it to the techs to work on.
you switch mice? go from a trackball to a normal mouse, or go to a touch pad? there is no way you can write a signature the same way. Would you have to have a signature for every mouse in existence?

Good Luck convincing Microsoft to adopt a Google Standard into their enterprise web server product.

The Canadian Government is thinking of making our 5 dollar bill a coin as well. That should make life interesting.
Tried these test samples on Google.ca and I such no such facts. Had to switch to Google.com to get it to work.
In other news, Apple has terminated the contract of the Pink Panther citing he just wasn't hip and cool anymore.

unfunny
they should have pored it on good ol' Tom and then put a hammer to him to see if he'd break into little pieces.
relax im kidding.
I don't like what you are implying. I took your bolded words and put them together and got this:
reviving dead. all other attempts failed. use solar power. end the universe.
So you are saying the Russians have a project that will raise the dead, and use some kind of solar power to end the universe.
talk about paranoia. the Russians are our friends now.
