I read today, that next week MS will also be releasing an AV program!

Quote:

First it was spyware - now Microsoft is heading for the lucrative anti-virus market. CNN reports the software giant is to release "a free security program" which will tackle the most dangerous of infections. The "Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool" is expected to be made available next week as part of the Windows update cycle. The new program won't tackle all infections - however, a full anti-virus suite is believed to be part of Microsoft's plans. It bought out GeCAD Software Srl, a Romanian anti-virus firm, two years ago, and it's expected the full program may be available as soon as this spring. Rich Kaplan, vice president for Microsoft's security business and technology unit, revealed: "We will have a standalone antivirus product that is one of the things you can buy from Microsoft, but we're not announcing anything today." Among the viruses and worms expected to be tackled by the new program are the MSBlast, Sasser and MyDoom bugs which spread rapidly around the net.

Are there any good, free firewalls out there for download to accompany this software?

reese

i use sygate, it is free, easy, and powerful, give it a shot.

Windows XP has a built in firewall (better in sp2) but i would recommend another on top of it. Also, zone alarm is free, but seems to be less secure, try sygate, its easy.

Thanks for the recommendation. I am using Sygate right now in addition to having the Windows Firewal enabled and my router's firewall. :)

Hows this MS offering compare to Adaware and the AOL spyware tool?

grentz

its awsome, much better than either of those...like i said i have tested lots of spyware apps, and by far giants (MS's now) is the best :)

I ran it on both my laptops...my Latitude X300 had no spyware at all, and my inspiron 2650 had 216 threats! Mad...it's running a lot faster now...

Why not use a Britney workstation running Linux? Not much spyware there.
