ZDNet U.K. is reporting that Symantec is accusing Microsoft Forefront Client Security as being inadequate as the engine used to run it is OneCare, which has gotten low marks from analysts and customers.
ZDNet writes:
Symantec called into question whether businesses could entrust mission-critical systems to technology that has in the past been proven to be flawed.
“Forefront Client Security is based on the same antivirus and anti-spyware technology as [Microsoft’s] OneCare product,” said Symantec in a statement. “OneCare has failed multiple third-party antivirus tests, including the latest Virus Bulletin, which is widely considered the benchmark test for AV [antivirus] engines.”
Does Symantec have a point?
