CNET科技资讯网12月20日国际报道拥有2亿用户的Hotmail已经放弃McAfee，转而使用Trend Micro作为自己电子邮件服务的杀毒软件。

微软消息，它的1.87亿Hotmail电子邮件服务用户从星期一开始，将开始享用Trend Micro的杀毒软件扫描进出电子邮件中的附件内容。

Hotmail 的病毒扫描任务原来由McAfee提供，至于微软为何要放弃McAfee，原因目前尚不知晓。根据负责Hotmail澳洲运营的Ninemsn公司的首席执行官Martin Hoffman透露，Trend Micro能够进行深度的病毒防护工作，因而可以给用户提供更为安全的网络体验。

Trend Micro公司的主打产品包括PC-cillin互联网安全产品，公司创始人兼主席Steve Chang在一份声明中表示，Trend Micro公司的目标是为用户提供更为安全的数字信息交流。

目前，McAfee尚未对微软的转变发表看法。（编辑：孙莹）
Hotmail dumps McAfee's antivirus for Trend Micro

MSN's Hotmail service, which has almost 200 million users worldwide, has dumped McAfee as its antivirus partner in favor of rival Trend Micro.

According to Microsoft, e-mails and attachments sent or received by any of Hotmail's 187 million Web mail customers will be scanned in real time by Trend Micro's antivirus software beginning Monday.

Hotmail's antivirus service was previously provided by McAfee and the reason for the change is unclear. However, Martin Hoffman, chief executive of Ninemsn, which operates Hotmail in Australia and is half owned by Microsoft, said in a statement that Hotmail will be able to provide a "safer online experience" using Trend Micro's products because they provide "deeper antivirus protection."

"Ninemsn is focused on providing a safer online experience for our Australian customers...We're pleased to work with Trend Micro, to provide deeper antivirus protection for our Hotmail customers," Hoffman said.

Dominic Finnegan, Ninemsn's director of ad products and pre-sales, said in response to e-mailed questions from ZDNet Australia: "We are constantly evaluating the needs of our customers as well as our business needs and feel that offering customers a variety of computing experiences further enhances and helps with their online protection.

"Trend has a proven track record and (it) made technical and business sense for us to work with them," Finnegan.

Steve Chang, chairman and founder of Trend Micro, which is best known for its PC-cillin Internet Security product, said in a statement that Trend Micro's vision is to make it safe for people to exchange digital information.

"This belief is behind everything we do for every customer we serve. We are thrilled to extend this to millions more," Chang said.

McAfee was unavailable for comment.
