Computer Associates is giving away antivirus software. Now there is no excuse for not being protected. Included is a one year subscription to updates. The software is available at http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/index.cfm? Marvin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Peterson/Amigos Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 5:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [tx-autocon] Free CA Anti-Virus Software >From Edupage: FREE ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE FROM COMPUTER ASSOCIATES Computer Associates (CA) announced this week it will make its eTrust EZ Armor software--which includes virus protection and a personal firewall--available at no charge to consumers in an effort to protect corporate networks from the large number of unprotected home users. CA's Ian Hameroff said that his company remains focused on corporate customers but that threats increasingly come from home users. CA's announcement sent the stock prices of competing antivirus companies falling. Symantec's stock dropped seven percent, while that of Network Associates fell five percent. At least one analyst said the reaction was excessive, however. Donovan Gow of American Technology Research noted that CA only holds six percent of the antivirus market worldwide and just one percent of the consumer market. Hameroff said CA's motivation in offering the software for free "was not to erode the market share of our competitors."
