Hotmail dumps McAfee's antivirus for Trend Micro
"MSN's Hotmail service, which has almost 200 million users worldwide, has dumped McAfee as its antivirus partner in favor of rival Trend Micro.
According to Microsoft, e-mails and attachments sent or received by any of Hotmail's 187 million Web mail customers will be scanned in real time by Trend Micro's antivirus software beginning Monday.
Hotmail's antivirus service was previously provided by McAfee and the reason for the change is unclear. However, Martin Hoffman, chief executive of Ninemsn, which operates Hotmail in Australia and is half owned by Microsoft, said in a statement that Hotmail will be able to provide a "safer online experience" using Trend Micro's products because they provide "deeper antivirus protection." .. full report

May be they found Trend Micro as a more safer anti-virus software. MSN is just concern for its users and I believe they should provide the best protection they can give.

Rid my PC from the bugs.
I was very happy that I found the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy (http://www.Search-and-destroy.com) to help me rid my PC from the bugs that threaten its overall performance. I’m sure that you already know that when you search the wide world of cyberspace you pick up spyware and viruses that can make your computer run slow and sluggish. Over time, it will completely stop working if you don’t find a good scan to prevent this from happening and the Search-and-destroy Antispyware is one of the best I’ve found so far. I love it and I’m sure you will too.
