Delivering new long-term solutions.

In order to help protect MERs as soon as possible, we plan to roll out a beta offering of a new spyware prevention, detection, and removal solution based on giant's technology within the next month.

The solution, which will be available for Windows 2000 and later operating systems, will enable MERs to decide whether to block, find and remove spyware and other unwanted software from their PCs. together with the security technologies in Windows XP Service Pack 2 that improve the security of browsing, this solution will offer a higher level of protection for customers on the Internet.

We are also tackling the spyware issue in other ways, including consumer guidance & engagement, industry collaboration and cooperation with legislators & law enforcement.
