According to eWeek, Microsoft may purchase Claria, the company who owns Gator. With this in mind, eWeek has suggested that Microsoft may no longer have a strong interest in security. What do you think?
Usually I try not to display my opinion on these matters, but I can make an exception. I think that if there is a deal, Microsoft can then cure 50% of their issue with spyware. This can help save them money in the long run. Also, Claria does have some value such as a customer database, user behavior-tracking software, and other small software that Microsoft could always clean up and re-use.

That is certainly one way to combat the spyware problem. Too many bugs in Internet Explorer? No problem, buy the bug companies... I think it is a good idea. It lets them look at how one of the top spyware companies does business, and not only can they put them out of business, they can design their AntiSpyware a little more efficiently.
