Icelandic antivirus company Frisk Software has agreed to be acquired by one of the main customers for its security engine, Commtouch. Founder and CTO Fririk Sklason founded the company in 1989 and its first antivirus programme dates back to 1989. Heuristic detection (i.e. spotting malware according its behaviour rather than through a digital signature) was once one of his software’s main USPs. The financial terms of the deal have not been announced, but it is expected to close soon.”]
