Message-ID: <3F74E2B3.70109@gs2.com.br> From: bugtraq at gs2.com.br (Fabio Gomes de Souza) Subject: CyberInsecurity: The cost of Monopoly Destroying the monopoly also lets the World get rid of (Anti)Virus companies, since they are protected by Microsoft Virus Support(TM). Viruses are a threat which has been intentionally neglected by Microsoft since the AntiVirus thing became a business. A BIG business. Imagine if Microsoft removed the Virus Support. Billions of dollars would stop being moved from people's pockets to the software giants. Mega companies would simply disappear from the Market. Hundreds of people would be unemployed. Given the facts, Microsoft is simply UNABLE to fix such vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities in Microsoft systems can only be fixed before they become a business. This rule has became worst after their antitrust trial. Virues have never been a threat for Open Source systems, since they (viruses) use vulnerabilities that get fixed by users *regardless* of some company liking or not. Diversification and Open Source is the solution for most security threats. These guys have done a GREAT WORK!
