Something interesting from Microsoft!

The official Version 1 of the Microsoft Malware Protection Center Portal is now live.
You can check it out here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/
Some of the features are:
- Access to the MS malware encyclopedia.
- Download the MS antivirus and/or antispyware signatures.
- Threat and Potentially Unwanted Software Telemetry.
- Tools and Resources.
- Microsoft Security Intelligence Report.
- Blogs, etc ...
And last but not least a Sample Submission feature!

Nice at least, what we could find at every anti-virus or malware vendor homepage for years is something we can find now also at Microsoft. For me Microsoft has changed his status now into a normal anti-malware vendor. It took them a while.
