Like mashing up Sophos and McAfee? Can you imagine the mess?
- cable2600 7y agoNo doubt there will be some downsizing before they get mashed up. McAfee used to be something in the 1990s, now it is bloatware.
- alexott 7y agoDon’t think about McAfee as Provider of only consumer stuff...
- jjoonathan 7y agoYeah, they provide enterprise-grade bloatware too.
- HenryBemis 7y agoI am still (proudly) using the McAfee Antivirus Enterprise edition on my Win Pro machine. It has (imho) the best options/flexibility. I also remember that the respective firewall was also super strong and very versatile but I can't get my hands on any latest version of it (I have the AV legally).
- exikyut 7y agoMy understanding is that Windows Defender is the only decent engine nowadays, but that's second-hand anecdata I can't measure the bias of (I don't currently use Windows).
- alex_anglin 7y agoWindows Defender ATP is also on linux: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/microsoft-defender-atp-linux https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-pro...
- exikyut 7y agoAhahaha Microsoft had to catch up to https://github.com/taviso/loadlibrary https://github.com/taviso/loadlibrary Nice!
- HenryBemis 7y agoOr perhaps zero mess, and this is just a good way to acquire all the patents and later they can merge either the companies or the teams behind them to produce what TB envisions. Tha scarier name I saw in their companies' list is BlueCoat. That is some nasty (good nasty) stuff. URL: https://www.thomabravo.com/companies https://www.thomabravo.com/companies
