Symantec to release subscription-based security mega-pack
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.[Via Slashdot]

Great, I used to like Norton but all they do now is add more resource hogging “features”. This just looks like a bundled and renamed combination of Internet security edition , System works and ghost.
