Is Microsoft’s free security suite a good thing?
San Jose Mercury News, USA
While this could shrink the revenue of PC security companies, it doesn’t completely eliminate their market. For one thing, the Microsoft solution is not likely to appeal to large businesses that have come to expect a level of service that Microsoft is unlikely to offer at no charge. Also, there are added features in many of the fee-based services like phishing protection, anti-spam and warnings before you click on a potentially dangerous Web link. And there are other product categories besides Windows PC security. All of the major security companies have or are working on solutions for mobile phones, including smart-phones like the BlackBerry and iPhone. There are also security products for Linux and Macintosh. It’s not as if Microsoft were the first company to give away security software.
