Antivirus Products
The antivirus product vendor world has undergone massive consolidation in the late 1990’s, but at the same time, the products have matured into professional enterprise-quality tools for handling virus incidents quickly and painlessly in most cases. The following is a list of the major vendors providing antivirus products and services:
- Frisk Software International, http://www.complex.is
One of the last remaining smaller antivirus product vendors to have not been acquired by the huge companies like Network Associates and Symantec, Frisk Software International has established and maintained a reputation of selling a high-quality product in its F-PROT antivirus tool.
- Network Associates, http://www.nai.com
Originally known as McAfee Associates, Network Associates is one of the oldest antivirus product vendors in the industry. It now offers a very wide range of security software and hardware tools.
- Symantec, http://www.symantec.com
Another longtime vendor offering antivirus product solutions is Symantec with its Norton Antivirus suite of tools.
- Trend Micro, http://www.antivirus.com
