Symantec will fight off Microsoft's security software challenge by being better at coming up with new ideas, the company's CEO said on Monday.
Microsoft has spent billions of dollars in recent years to secure its software. Now it's payback time.
Microsoft has released the latest version of its all-in-one security product, Windows Live OneCare. In beta since July, version 2.0 offers many enhancements to existing tools and offers several new tools, particularly in the area of networking and backup storage.
CA's eTrust software wrongly identified Windows' in-built security as malware, and a fix has been made available.

What's easier to manage 200 Mac OS X systems without antivirus or 200 Windows systems running a leading antivirus package?
If you recently signed up with Microsoft's OneCare Live antivirus service -- and you use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express -- there is a chance that your stored e-mails have been wiped out.
Microsoft launched its Windows Live OneCare antivirus package in the US earlier this year and instantly grabbed 15 percent of the market; although this may be good in terms of short term revenue, it could completely wreck everything the software giant has invested in improving its reputation for security.
I caved in. I had all intentions of pre-emptively spending my $900 government handout on a $700 HP netbook this weekend. But I was pwned by a shiny little MacBook in about the time it took white hat Charlie Miller to hack its upscale brother, the MacBook Air.

AVG Anti-Virus 7.1 Professional Single Edition is a solid, no-frills virus scanner. But you'll need to purchase antispyware software and a firewall for complete protection.
Despite a face-lift, the redesigned McAfee VirusScan Plus continues to consume system resources and leaves its customers lacking support.
