I read the article a little bit differently. Is this a way to explain Security Essentials’ recent poor performance in anti-virus tests? Maybe, but it’s pretty clear that Microsoft isn’t yet ready to develop a full-featured security product, so third-parties seem to remain your only choice for an unbreakable computer. And honestly, if we are doing our job correctly, that’s what will happen." "The natural progression is that we will always be on the bottom of these tests. "We’re providing all of that data and information to our partners so they can do at least as well as we are," Stewart said. Now it all comes down to the collaboration with partners that are supposed to provide better protection, even though Security Essentials doesn’t score well in anti-virus tests.
There’s something not right about that – we’re not doing the best job for our customers." "If they are doing that work they are not looking at those threats that are affecting our customers. There’s always a cost to that," she said. "We used to have part of our team directed towards predicting test results and figuring out what might be in someone’s test. The Microsoft rep admitted, however, that Redmond previously invested a lot of money trying to make Security Essentials achieve better results in all these anti-virus tests. "But you can’t do that with a monoculture and you can’t do that with a malware-catching ecosystem that is not robust and diverse." "We had an epiphany a few years ago, back in 2011, where we realised we had a greater calling and that was to protect all Microsoft customers," Steward was quoted as saying by PC Pro. The tech giant is keeping Security Essentials fully updated in order to provide the protection users need, so any other piece of software that achieves better results than this one is clearly capable of providing advanced security features. The surprising statements are actually supposed to show that Microsoft is trying to work with partners and security companies across the world as much as possible, with Security Essentials holding a key role in this collaboration.
