This week several security vendors announced new and improved versions of their endpoint security products that involve a new level of sophistication and protection. The tools include the launch of SecureAnywhere from Webroot and new products from Symantec's Norton division. Finally, Bitdefender has a new version of its free QuickScan online malware scanner here just for Windows PCs. The scan initiates right from your browser window.

The number of web sites infected with malware has doubled, according to Dasient's Q3 Malware Update. Planting malware on legitimate sites, through malvertising or other methods, is now the preferred method of criminals distributing malicious software. McAfee, in its own third quarter report, claims that daily malware infections are increasing at the highest rate ever. Meanwhile, as we've reported, BitDefender estimates that one in five Facebook users is exposed to malware. And Palo Alto Networks told us recently that Facebook use is rampant in enterprises, even where it's forbidden.

Considering all this, are you planning on changing your organization's anti-malware strategy?
