Microsoft announced today that it is acquiring Sybari Software, Inc., an anti-virus software company based in New York. This is the second anti-virus related company has purchased. Last year they purchased GeCAD. GeCAD technology is in the latest malware removal tool Microsoft has been distributing for free.
Microsoft began using the Sybari anti-virus product itself last year after extensive testing of anti-virus products. They feel the product is the best available solution and decided to purchase the company. Expect a Microsoft labeled anti-virus product relatively soon.
