New Offerings for Computer Protection
Recent weeks have seen an influx of new offerings to help protect your computer. In addition to an announcement from Zone Labs, Microsoft, McAffee and Symantec are all expanding the scope of their computer protection software. All of these offerings typically include antivirus, anti-spyware and firewall software. Microsoft’s solution also includes back-up features and several tune-up tools for Windows PCs. McAffee’s offering, Norton 360, includes SiteAdvisor, which adds ratings to Web search results. Also getting into this space is AOL, offering Total Care, which offers more of the same through an unnamed third party security company. Undoubtedly it will not be long before Yahoo and Google are also announcing that they are tackling this security problem with solutions of their own.
