McAfee announced it will now offer weekly rules set engine updates (RENUs) to users of its SpamKiller spam detection product line. The move to go weekly from monthly updates was in response to the increasing number of ways spammers and hackers hijack computers and steal identities and online accounts, according to McAfee. http://www.mcafee.com
