Hotmail drops McAfee for Trendmicro
Hotmail has reportedly dropped McAfee for Trendmicro, in the provision of virus protection software for its e-mail users.
According to the report Hotmail ditches McAfee for Trend:
The McAfee virus scanner (Security Services for MSN) formerly used by Hotmail promised much the same thing. But anti-virus signature files for the McAfee service were only updated once a week (on Thursday nights). Trend said it will be updating the signature files at least three times a week.
"We are considering doing a daily update. In the meantime we'll be updating signature files three times a week or when a major outbreak occurs," said Raimund Genes, European president of Trend Micro.
The move comes a a marketing triumph for Trendmircro, and will no doubt help it push out news of it's flagship PC-cillin virus removal software.
