Antivirus firms Trend Micro and Sophos have developed new tools to discover rootkit infections but both are attacking the problem from a slightly different angle.
Late last week Trend Micro released its Internet Security 2009 and Internet Security Pro 2009 products, touting enhanced performance, features and better end-user education.
Microsoft has said it will release a patch at the end of January that should fix all the problems introduced by a recent update to its Windows Live OneCare security software.
The new millennium was the year Microsoft was ordered to bifurcate, dot-coms tanked on Wall Street, WorldCom's Bernie Ebbers saw his merger mania capped and Napster scared the recording industry nearly to death. 2000 was a cascading waterfall of events that ended any doubts about the Net's ability to change the way we think, learn, play and do business.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 provides adequate protection, but the program itself could use some work in telling the user what's going on.
If e-mail security is giving you headaches, before you turn to voodoo magic, try one of these hardware appliance solutions.
You can't beat the price. For a good, basic internet security suite, we recommend Trend Micro Internet Security 2009.
Norton Internet Security 2009 hits all the right security notes and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though the lack of adequate technical support may continue to frustrate.
