Microsoft officials have been saying for quite some time that Windows Vista will ship with antispyware software built into the operating system. But for more than a year, Microsoft's top dogs have been quite clear that Microsoft has no intentions to bundle antivirus software into the product.

Neowin Review: Symantec Norton Internet Security 2009

Back when I got my first PC, there wasn't a need for Antivirus software, malware wasn't heard of, and Spam came in a can, and could arguably be called a tasty treat. Now, you just about can't run a PC without some sort of Antivirus/spyware protection, especially if you're connected to the internet (something we'd only be able to use if we were students at the local college). Back in late 1990, Symantec released their first Antivirus software, called Norton Antivirus (from the original company name, and founder, Peter Norton). At the time, it was considered one of, if not THE best AV software out there.

Symantec releases antivirus just for gamers, but why?

Symantec today released Norton AntiVirus 2009 Gaming Edition, an antivirus utility designed specifically not to bother gamers while they, err, game. The "Gamer Mode" suspends updates, alerts, and other background activities when you’re in the middle of a game. It is automatically enabled when the system is in full screen mode (and can also be manually enabled). Resource-intensive actions such as a system scan only occur when the computer is idle. Furthermore, Symantec claims that the software is a performance-driven release, but then again, the normal NAV2009 is as well (as we've seen in a recent performance test). Rowan Trollope, senior vice president of consumer products at Symantec gave the following explanation for the product release...

Apple Recommends Antivirus Software

Apple has issued a technical note about Mac antivirus software, and, for the first time, suggests that Macs need such software. The note says: "Apple encourages the widespread use of multiple antivirus utilities so that virus programmers have more than one application to circumvent, thus making the whole virus writing process more difficult." The note then goes on to mention three antivirus programs, with Intego VirusBarrier X5 listed first. It is worth noting this, since Apple, especially in its recent "Get a Mac" ads, has always publicly tried to ignore the threat of malware to Macs, as well as other security issues.

Security analysts closer to improved antivirus software test

Antivirus vendors are closer to agreeing on a new way to test their software after widespread agreement that older antivirus tests can be misleading.



AV-Test.org, a German antivirus testing organization, is meshing suggestions from vendors such as Symantec, Panda Software, and Trend Micro as well as its own for a new testing regime, said Maik Morgenstern, who conducts product tests at AV-Test.org.



The new testing proposal -- also supported by vendors Kaspersky Lab and F-Secure, as well as other testers such as Virus Bulletin -- will be presented next month at the Association of AntiVirus Asia Researchers 2007 conference in Seoul.



Companies supporting AV-Test.org's paper will try to marshal support from other security vendors, said Mark Kennedy, an antivirus engineer with Symantec.

Sophos: 'Don't rely on antivirus software'

Security vendor Sophos has warned companies not to rely on antivirus software to protect their IT infrastructure and systems.

S peaking at the Information Systems Security Association conference in London on Thursday, Vanjer Svajcer, senior virus researcher for Sophos, said companies should also look to alternative technologies and procedures to ensure their IT assets are secure.

Svajcer said: "I always say, 'Do not rely on antivirus software'. In 99 per cent of cases you cannot. The problem is we have to see a virus before we can detect it. If antivirus is in place, it may not detect [a virus] because it may be very targeted for you."..

Early alarms over new Mac malware

A new rogue security application for the Mac could be on the way, according to one industry executive. Sunbelt Software chief executive Alex Eckelberry revealed that researchers at his company had uncovered a site advertising a product known as 'MacGuard.' The product claims to offer both spyware and antivirus protections as well as the ability to remove adware and block phishing attacks on OS X systems.

Though no downloadable software has been found on the site, Eckelberry is urging users to remain vigilant. The Sunbelt chief noted that the company believed to be behind the site also distributes 'Antivirus XP 2008' and 'XP Antivirus', a pair of Windows rogue security applications Eckelberry classified as "really horrific." Both applications have been known for using exploits to install themselves without consent and send the user fake alert messages designed to scare victims into paying for non-existent security protections.

Microsoft Preps Business Antivirus, Antispyware Product

Speaking at a technology event near Amsterdam, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said that Forefront Client Security, Microsoft's antivirus and antispyware product for business desktops that has been in development since 2003, will be available " in the next month ." The product has been in beta testing for more than a year, and the company's most recent target for final release is by the end of June. Ballmer characterized the product as an all-in-one security product for PCs in a business environment. Forefront Client Security is based on software Microsoft acquired in its 2003 purchase of antivirus vendor GeCAD. It also includes antispyware technology that Microsoft brought on board in 2004 when it bought Giant Company Software.

In his speech, Ballmer acknowledged that it's only been in the last five years that Microsoft has made security a priority as it developed new and existing products: " About five years ago, we got a real wake-up call: security issues really started to accelerate on the Internet and in our products. We had built products and designed them in a world the Internet. we started to see any increase in the number of security issues, the first thing we did was committed ourselves to the reliability of our core products ."
