Top security suites fail exploit tests

Security software suites don't protect users from real-world exploits, a bug tracking company charged today after launching 300 test attacks against a dozen programs, including popular software from McAfee, Symantec, and Trend Micro.
"The Internet security suites are marketing themselves as the one solution users need to be safe online," said Thomas Kristensen, chief technology officer at Secunia, which ran the tests. "In our opinion, that's just not true."
