Microsoft buys security company SOFTWARE BEHEMOTH Microsoft has bought a New York firm which makes software that fights spam and spyware. The firm called Giant is small and only has 12 employees, and because it's privately owned, no-one apart from the top nobs knows what it's paid for the company. µ more info @ http://www.giantcompany.com/intro.ht...tispyware.aspx src: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=20272 I installed GIANT on my parents PC because neither Adaware or Spybot were able to remove a lingering spyware, the GIANT soft did the trick :) |
MS buys antispyware company My favorite source of information on spyware trends just got purchased by MS and all of the data I usually get from that site is no longer available :( After PestPatrol was purchased by CA it went downhill rather fast so hopefully MS will keep GIANT on a good route. I'm not happy about the data being pulled though thats for sure! http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/p...-16GIANTPR.asp |

Double visions;) |
