Microsoft easing into antivirus efforts
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft is trying to dampen speculation that it will make a major acquisition in the antivirus market. The software giant was the subject of rumors in June that it was in talks to buy security firm Network Associates.
Steven Adler, European senior security specialist at Microsoft, told Silicon.com at the TechEd developer conference here this week that the company's antivirus plans are still at an early stage, including the integration of software from last year's acquisition of antivirus firm GeCad.
