Symantec to release subscription-based security mega-pack

Filed under: Internet, Security, Windows, Symantec, Commercial

Symantec is making loud noises about its new "Security 2.0" initiative, which will usher in "a new age of trust on the Internet." What is it? Well, it's some new products with a snappy name. The first product is an unnamed app resulting from Symantec's recent acquisition of WholeSecurity that's designed to prevent phishing. The second is a big new package Symantec is calling "Genesis," and which will go head-to-head with Microsoft's OneCare, providing "anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, firewall, PC optimization and maintenance elements, the transaction security tools, and online/offline backup." Genesis will be a subscription-based product and is being readied for Windows Vista users.
