I think this is nice, but I'm not sure how much it will help. The users who are insecure or ignorant of security will also remain ignorant of this new resource. You have to first realize that security exists and then make an effort to find a resource like this to help you.
Unforunately you are damn right. No one or at least of 95% concerns with security and the worst is that they do not want to know about. Only when the things go really bad start shaking and feel the fear of the work they might loose. Well this is good for people that they work as AV admins...keep us with work.


For users that DO visit this resource, it seems like they have a decent amount of useful information on it: Microsoft Virus Protection Strategies although not very timely- the latest info they have is on Slammer with no reference to either Fizzer or Palyh/Mankx. Hopefully this new alliance will help them stay more current on the existing threats.
Although is true is ironic as well that such serious matters not to be given serious attention yet from Microsoft. So we hope that this alliance will solve their problems?
