NEWS Fujitsu Siemens Computer's is buying anti-virus software from Finnish security firm F-secure. Fujitsu's LIFEBOOK notebooks and Professional PCs will now be sold equipped with F-Secure's anti-virus software on the driver and utility CD. Fujitsu Siemens delivers around 4.5 million notebooks and PCs world wide. Both parties decline to reveal the value of the agreement but spokeswoman for F-secure said the deal is substantial. The agreement is a second alliance from the two giants. In November 1999 Fujitsu launched a joint project based on F-Secure's secure clients on the Reliant UNIX-based RM servers.
