I don't see Microsoft as having a problem here. Microsoft is improving the security of their operating systems. There will always be attacks on popular OS's. I'm more concerned about Symantec. Symantec should post a downloadable beta 64-bit Anti-virus program for all to try, if they even have one yet. Let’s sees if Symantec can deal with 64-bit viruses. AVG is looking better to me all the time.
Symantec’s recent slow reaction to posting workaround's for Windows XP SP2's Security Center and WinFax 10.02 concern me. The fixes are posted. What took so long? |
