Just kinda hilarious...

Microsoft Corporation has reached an agreement to acquire the anti-virus software company, Sybari Software Inc. Microsoft aims to expand its security software product portfolio with this acquisition....Sybari Software, with more than 10,000 corporate clients, specializes in software products that block e-mail viruses. The statement added that Microsoft was planning to offer its enterprise customers a new line of products to fend off spam, viruses and worms....[link]

I's only medium hilarious that Microsoft is making money selling products that try to fix problems with other Microsoft products. I'll hold off rolling on the floor until people have to pay for something that fixes a security vulnerability in the Microsoft anti-virus software...

* Update: Wellll... This was fast: Microsoft's AntiSpyware product is threatened by a Trojan horse that also tries to steal online banking details... [link] Posted by John Weidner at February 10, 2005 9:32 AM
