Kaspersky believes Windows Vista cannot guarantee protection against malware
Friday, December 22nd, 2006
According to Natalya Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky Lab, Microsoft is unlikely to be at the vanguard 
of anti-virus, despite the security enhancements of Vista and its standalone anti-malware product, OneCare. Kasperksy claims there are three reasons why the software giant will struggle to muscle in on anti-virus vendors’ territory.
Firstly, Microsoft’s poor reputation in the security field. Says Kaspersky: “Microsoft solutions are still perceived as being insecure or full of security loopholes. The loopholes in Windows and MS Office applications are due, above all, to their extraordinary popularity – hackers across the world are always going to hack programs used by the majority. Given this, I am afraid that Microsoft’s new anti-virus solutions may suffer the same fate, as virus writers will create malware that is designed primarily to evade detection by OneCare.” Security Park - Kaspersky believes Windows Vista cannot guarantee protection against malware
