IBM Corp. will stop selling the BlackIce PC Protection security suite, a product that came under its wing after buying Internet Security Systems (ISS) a year ago for US$1.3 billion.
The company will stop selling BlackIce on Sept. 19, and end technical support for the product, which is just for PCs running Windows, on Sept. 29, 2008.
IBM said its ISS division would no longer offer desktop or server protection software for the consumer market, but also noted that the company still has security software suitable for small businesses.
