"Microsoft's protection suite is below the standard"

Microsoft's free suite AntiMalware Morro, which the company suggested this week, according to Symantec does not meet current requirements for PCs sufficiently secure. Morro is a free light version of the AntiMalware OneCare suite. That package would Vista and XP users must protect against all the evil that the Internet hosts, such as spyware, viruses and Trojans. Morro will be free to download from Microsoft. "Microsoft has no security business" Symantec has now protected Commenting on the announcement. "I want to stress that whatever security concerns, the OneCare package of Microsoft offered a protection that was below normal," says president Tom Powledgevice consumer business. "It was the ease of use undersized, which is confirmed by several independent reviews." Symantec is therefore assumed that Morro, a slimmed-down version of OneCare, certainly will not comply. According to Symantec security business Microsoft has not. "This sector is fundamentally different from the market in which Microsoft is active," said Powledgevice. Microsoft believes that it needs to Morro good protection into their own hands. "We believe that we Morro, the upcoming Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8 to offer our customers the opportunity to raise the level of personal security to choose that they need," says Microsoft spokeswoman Aurelie Couvreur. Still no antitrust issue Or Morro will lead to a new episode in the antitrust cases against Microsoft, will have to wait and see. "We do not want to comment on antitrust-related matters," spokeswoman Judith responds Symantec-Sautereau. Competitor McAfee also wants to go there yet. "It is too early to talk about," says spokesman Joris Evers to CNet. Microsoft assumes that there is no problem with the air. "Morro will be offered as a separate, free download," says Couvreur. The fact that Morro will not be bundled in the retail version of Windows would reduce the risk of an antitrust case in any event should reduce. Earlier the European Commission required the software giant to create a custom version of Windows on the market. Which has the Windows Media Player multimedia player is not standard on board. The program was then free to download on Microsoft's website. The cabinet of competition commissioner Neelie Kroes was not reachable for comment.
