Microsoft playing fair with security rivals, Kaspersky says

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

Microsoft’s new operating system Windows Vista will not make it more difficult for antivirus Windows Vista 034.jpgcompanies, Kaspersky Lab said on Friday, contradicting rivals.

In an open letter this week, U.S. antivirus maker McAfee accused Microsoft of weakening users’ protection by no longer co-operating with computer security providers and denying them access to the core of the Vista system.

"From what we have seen of Vista, we cannot tell that Microsoft is blocking access to the core," Natalya Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky Lab, a Russian computer security company. "It would not make any sense for them (Microsoft) to stop working with other computer security companies, because it would make their system more vulnerable to attacks."
