Microsoft OneCare Was Premature

Oops my bad. Wow, this is an amazing quote to have captured. At CeBIT Arno Edelmann, Microsoft’s European business security product manager spoke with ZDNet about their OneCare offering.

“It’s a problem with the updates, and it’s a problem with the implementation,” said Edelmann.

If mail is received from a server running Exchange 2007, users are unlikely to encounter problems. However, if mail is received from servers running Exchange 2000 or 2003, the likelihood of quarantining is high, said Edelmann.

“OneCare is a new product — they shouldn’t have rolled it out when they did, but they’re fixing the problems now,” said Edelmann.

Problems? Hmm, like identifying a Outlook .pst file as malware? Yeah, I would hazard that could be seen to be a problem.
