Microsoft Australia has apologised to users who have lost their entire Outlook and Outlook Express e-mail archives due to a flaw in Windows Live OneCare.
McAfee said on Tuesday that it plans to release four versions of its new "Falcon" security products, which is designed to rival Symantec and newcomer Microsoft.
McAfee is readying new security software, code-named Falcon, to rival upcoming products from Symantec and newcomer Microsoft.
Microsoft has begun soliciting testers for OneCare Live, the company's subscription antivirus and anti-spyware service.
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 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.
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.
Symantec is about to launch Norton 360 in Australia and although the product seems to have some interesting features, it will take more than marketing hype to persuade me that the company has stopped making bloated and unreliable software.

Without diversity in security software for Windows, computers running the Microsoft operating system will be sitting ducks, Symantec CEO John Thompson warns.
Windows Live OneCare is the first of many managed online security services to debut this year. We recommend waiting, then comparing the offerings from Symantec, McAfee, and other established security vendors before deciding on a managed online security service.
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.
