The European Commission, which proved with its 497 million Euro fine and behavioral restrictions last year to be a formidable antitrust adversary for Microsoft, is showing interest in the American software giant's security plans.
On Thursday, the same day that Microsoft unveiled its hotly anticipated plans for a Microsoft Client Protection product to protect corporate client software from viruses and spyware, Symantec officials acknowledged that they have been exchanging information with the European Commission. The commission is the enforcement arm of the European Union.
