Microsoft has just snared a U.S. patent for proactive virus protection, which is how security software helps secure your PC when it encounters shape-shifting malware not already in its antivirus definition file. What I want to know is, what does this mean for all the other vendors -- like McAfee,Symantec, Kaspersky, and Trend Micro -- that have been selling proactive protection software for years? Do they now have to pay Microsoft protection; I mean, royalties?

An anonymous reader writes "InfoWeek blogger Alex Wolfe wonders whether Microsoft will go after McAfee, Symantec, Trend Micro, and Kaspersky for software royalties for proactive virus protection software. The technique enables security software to protect a PC against malware which isn't yet in the antivirus definition file, by comparing whether the new malware is similar to an old virus. Wolfe reports that Microsoft has been awarded U.S. patent 7,376,970 for "System and method for proactive computer virus protection," but that McAfee, Symantec, Trend Micro, and Kaspersky have all been selling products implementing proactive virus protection for years before Microsoft even filed for the patent.

Britain's biggest shake-up of consumer protection laws in the past 40 years goes into effect next week and it casts a wide net online and off. As well as targeting double-glazing salesman and fortune tellers, the new Consumer Protection Regulations set their sites on companies that create fake blogs to market their products, a gimmick that has caused a PR headache for the likes of Wal-Mart, L'Oreal and Coca-Cola in the past. Under the new rules, companies that deceive consumers with fictional blogs could be slapped with a fine of up to £5,000 if they are convicted.
