Microsoft's plans to launch an antivirus application will improve overall Internet security, a leading competitor conceded.
Eugene Kaspersky, founder of Moscow-based Kaspersky Labs, said he isn't concerned by Microsoft's potential charge into the antivirus space because he believes no single company can dominate that particular market.
Having made three antivirus-related acquisitions, the software giant is inching towards launching its own dedicated product. However, the software giant has kept mum about they type of product it's developing, which has led established antivirus firms to speculate about how a Microsoft-branded antivirus product would affect their business.
"When Microsoft comes on the market with a new product it's usually a big mess for companies developing competitive solutions. I think it will be the same in the antivirus business because it's not possible to dominate the security market."
"Imagine there are a lot of thieves but there is just one standard lock for the door -- all the thieves would be able to open that door in a second," he said in an interview with ZDNet Australia the AusCERT security conference recently.
In some ways, he welcomes the introduction of a Microsoft antivirus solution because "it is likely to make the Internet a safer place".
"I think Microsoft could be a good addition to the market. If there is a Microsoft antivirus [product] for people that don't care at all about security, I think the situation will be safer than it is at the moment," said Kaspersky.
Jason Garms, group product manager for Microsoft's anti-malware product team, confirmed that the company was developing an antivirus product and said all employees from previous acquisitions have been retained.
"We are absolutely getting into the antivirus space. All the people that came from the [GeCad] acquisition are still part of my team," said Garms.
Microsoft is currently beta testing an anti-spyware tool and recently launched a Malicious Software Removal Tool designed to rid Windows-based computers of malware. However, Garms said neither of these tools could be called an antivirus product because they are not proactive.
Recently, Dr Jan Hruska, co-founder of Sophos, told ZDNet Australia that it was likely Microsoft would enter the antivirus market but probably concentrate on the consumer market -- a move that could threaten companies like Symantec.
But Symantec quashed such talk months earlier when its CEO John Thompson said, "I'd rather fight Microsoft in the marketplace because I'm sure we'll whip them".
In December, market research firm Gartner said there was an 80 percent chance that Microsoft would release a combined antivirus and anti-spyware product in the second half of 2005. These products would be cheaper than the competition and would affect traditional antivirus firms such as Symantec, it predicted.

ma da ali ce prvo da odrade neke "super ekstra mega viruse" koje ce navodno samo njihov AV da sredjuje, cisto malo da uspore konkurenciju.
Ajde u kamion MB piva da ce pred izlazak njihovog AV-a da se desi teska zaraza na Netu

mm,kazes pivo ?
hm,pa ne znam ne mislis da bi "ukoliko se to desi" nastao preveliki pritisak na MS ?
nisam siguran da bi MS "odradio" virus,moguce je da ce neki coder,
pronaci neki hvala bogu bug u tom av i napraviti nesto lepo
ali da sam MS uradi nesto neverujem

Bolje da se ipak sačeka taj AV .. ja bih ga ipak probao pre ocene.
Ako je suditi po M$ AS'u .. a ne po FW'u .. možda će nešto i biti od toga.
Pitanje je da li će biti u rangu sadašnjih lidera .. lično mislim da neće .. bar ne u početku.
Ostaje otvoreno i pitanje cene .. kako se AV programi kupuju u domaćim firmama to će biti najbitnija stavka.

pazi ovako... M$ ima resurse da uradi tako nešto... verujem da će za par godina njihov AV biti u prednosti jer će verovatno dolaziti u paketu s Win-om tako da će već biti instaliran i neće moći da se skine (nešto kao IE)... što nikako nije dobro ako bude imao toliko rupa koliko i IE... bićemo srećni ako uopšte bude bilo moguće da se isključi bar ...

Zasto vam je ovo novost?
Pa jos pre dve godine je objavljeno da je MS kupio, koliko se secam, kompaniju RAV. Nisam siguran da je RAV, ali se secam da je u pitanju neka AV kompanija iz Rumunije.

SVITAC ::Bolje da se ipak sačeka taj AV .. ja bih ga ipak probao pre ocene.
Verovatno nece biti on nesto los, poenta je da nije pametno svu bezbednost prepustiti jednoj firmi, jer ako ona stucne - eto problema
Sada, antivirusi se dopunjuju sa patchevima za MS, pa ako jedan "zezne" drugi nece...
Negde sam procitao da je neko napisao po ovom pitanju da se uz svaki auto dobije i brava/kljuc, ali da svako pored toga stavi i neki alarm, kuku, kandzu...
Tako je i ovde, stizace i bolje obezbedjen Windows, ali za vecu sigurnost ce se staviti jos i neki AV.
Generalno je to bolje, jer onih 5-7 posto koji po svim anketama nemaju nikakav antivirus ce ga imati uz Windows, pa nece sejati zarazu po netu.
Naravno, pitanje je i cene koju ce da ponudi MS

Jeste - to je GeCAD firma koja je pravila RAV.
Svi windows programeri su "zapali" MS-u, a svi koji su radili Linux verzije su presli u KL
