Microsoft AntiSpyware Flags Norton

I found this quite amusing: according to the Washington Post, a definitions update to Microsoft AntiSpyware has reportedly caused the program to identify Norton AntiVirus as a keylogger and password stealer and to suggest making component removals that will cripple the Norton installation.

Yep, sure looks like Microsoft is getting ready to launch Windows OneCare. ;-)

[Update: Hmm... according to CNet, Norton products aren't affected, but rather only Symantec AntiVirus and Symantec Client Security. Who do we believe: Washington Post or CNet?]
