| Tiscali: Norton 360
We find ourselves in a new Internet era. From blogs and social networking sites to podcasts and online video sharing, more of our information and communications have moved online. The Internet is also a bustling marketplace where many of us conduct our day-to-day business, even bank online. These changes create opportunities and conveniences, they also expose us to Internet threats. In the new Internet age, hackers, viruses, phishing scams, and other threats continue to target our identities, our privacy, and our information. We ran Norton 360 through its paces against a sophisticated phishing scam targeting Halifax users. Look at what it did - Norton 360 prevents you from transacting with dodgy websites, whether fake banking or shopping sites. .
Software EU Looks For More Anti-competition Gold in the Microsoft Mine
Opera alleges that the bundling of IE with Windows violates EU guidelines. Further, it says that Microsoft uses proprietary formats within the browser, in an effort to reduce compatibility with open internet standards, an anti-competitive practice. The EC also received reports of the "tying of other separate software products by Microsoft, which include the products desktop search and Windows Live. The Commission's investigation will therefore focus on allegations that a range of products have been unlawfully tied to sales of Microsoft's dominant operating system." While the EC is not charging Microsoft with a violation of Article 82 of the EC Treaty, yet, it vows to make the investigation "a matter of priority." The EU engaged in an aggressive campaign of competition monitoring over the last several years and has issued numerous large fines. The EC is also currently investigating or charging violations against Apple for its iTunes software and against leading chip-maker Intel. The EC is not only fielding claims against American companies. British Airways and Siemens are also in its legal cross hairs.
