Symantec subscription-based security pack

Symantec’s “Security 2.0″ initiative claims to usher in “a new age of trust on the Internet.” The product suite will include many of the products that we currently own and some new ones (all with fancy names).

The first product is an unnamed app resulting from Symantec’s recent acquisition of WholeSecurity that’s designed to prevent phishing. The second is a big new package Symantec is calling “Genesis,” and which will go head-to-head with Microsoft’s OneCare, providing “anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, firewall, PC optimization and maintenance elements, the transaction security tools, and online/offline backup.” Genesis will be a subscription-based product and is being readied for Windows Vista users.
