AVG buys Sana
Nibble
Better AV protection
Wed Jan 14 2009, 05:01
INSECURITY outfit AVG has bought another AV software company called Sana which makes software that it claims protects computers in the same way as the immune system.
The move will mean the end of Symantec's Norton AntiBot, which is based on the technology.
Initially the behaviour-based malware protection will simply be bundled with AVG Internet Security and AVG Anti-Virus Plus Firewall, but AVG wants to integrate it into its products in a few months. Sana's Primary Response SafeConnect has been getting good reviews.
AVG has been buying up a number of companies lately and it is surprising that Symantec didn't buy the outfit. µ

INQ Poll
AVG was great to 7.5, but at 8.0 it became bloated. A shame because it was a great piece of free AV to recommend to ordinary folks without needing configuring. Now the user has to switch off the pre-web-search checking of all pages that are found in a google search. All web searches are slower, and it makes IE run like a pig.
The INq - when TF are you going to fix the comments paragraph formatting problem?
