McAfee isn't "McAfee Secure" or "Hacker Safe"

McAfee not a security company: I've been saying this for a while, albeit mostly regarding Symantec. This still applies to McAfee, though: An antivirus company, does not a security company make.
Though still an unpopular idea, the concept of antivirus does not comply with standard, universal security principles.
As a result, most AV vendors - Symantec, McAfee, etc - still have not accepted those principles which are commonly accepted outside of the AV world... These companies simply DO NOT GET IT.
Time to throw them out of the halls of security companies - stop calling them that!; Posted by: douglen@... Posted on: 05/13/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
