NETFLASH: BREAKING NEWS FROM NETWORKWORLD.COM

By Sheryl Hodge

Microsoft Thursday unveiled its first anti-virus, anti-spyware
software designed for corporate networks - really, we're not
kidding, should be interesting to see how they do on the "anti"
side. The product is currently being called Microsoft Client
Protection, but will be renamed before final release, and will
protect desktops, laptops and basic Windows file servers from
viruses, spyware and other malware, including rootkits.

Registry proves critics wrong

In 2003, when the federal government awarded AT&T a
multimillion-dollar deal to build its National Do Not Call
Registry, doubters called the move putting a fox in charge of
the henhouse. But after two years, Do Not Call is a ringing
success and also has shown the power of the Web as a way for
government agencies to provide simple, reliable services
directly to citizens.

Check Point to acquire Sourcefire

Check Point Thursday announced its intent to acquire Sourcefire
for $225 million, with the deal expected to close early next
year.

Visa CEO calls for data protection laws, incentives

Visa's CEO is exploring ways to reward businesses that enhance
their security practices to protect against credit card fraud
and online scams. The company says businesses need to work
together to better fight identity theft and computer fraud
because customers will lose confidence in electronic
transactions if they continue to see major data breaches. Hard
to disagree with that.
