Mcafee To Launch Onecare Competitor
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Jun 01, 2006
McAfee has announced an all-in-one security subscription service in a bid to upset Microsoft's applecart. The service, codenamed Falcon, will contain all major security suite components as well as PC backup and various tune-up tools. It's positioned as a competitor to Microsoft's Windows OneCare, which is expected soon, and Symantec's Genesis effort which is due out later this year.

“We know from our research and relationship with millions of consumers that PC security is confusing and complex to them,” said Marc Solomon, Director of Product Management and McAfee Consumer. “With the launch of Falcon this summer, we have integrated into our award-winning products powerful, yet easy to use protection that addresses both existing and emerging threats. For the consumer, we not only continue to stop the bad guys in their tracks but we will even be able sniff out and stop suspicious activity. Falcon builds upon McAfee's leadership in making great security and protection nearly transparent to the user and takes consumer security to an entirely new level.”

Falcon will be designed work with non-Internet Explorer browsers like Firefox and will sport a better-designed interface with easy access to advanced options. Other improvements: protection against rootkits, anti-phishing heuristics, detection of malware within images, scanning of USB devices such as thumb drives, home-network protection, and automated local backup.
