12.2.2007 Vista: Antispyware, Yes. Antivirus, No
Why are Microsoft watchers surprised that Microsoft has no plans to integrate antivirus software into Windows? Redmond sees bigger dollar signs in antivirus services.
Microsoft officials have been saying for quite some time that Windows Vista will ship with antispyware software built into the operating system. But for more than a year, Microsoft's top dogs have been quite clear that Microsoft has no intentions to bundle antivirus software into the product.

Apple has issued a technical note about Mac antivirus software, and, for the first time, suggests that Macs need such software. The note says: "Apple
encourages the widespread use of multiple antivirus utilities so that virus programmers have more than one application to circumvent, thus making the
whole virus writing process more difficult." The note then goes on to mention three antivirus programs, with Intego VirusBarrier X5 listed first. It
is worth noting this, since Apple, especially in its recent "Get a Mac" ads, has always publicly tried to ignore the threat of malware to Macs, as
well as other security issues.

14.07.2006Kaspersky predicts Vista security holes
Antivirus experts from
Kaspersky Labs have predicted
that 90 percent of current
malware will run on
Microsoft's latest operating
system, Windows Vista.
Although at the moment Vista
appears to be more secure than
previous Windows operating
systems, Kaspersky researchers
warned last week that as Vista
becomes more popular, it will
increasingly become a target
for hackers.
"We're not asking whether
vulnerabilities will be found,
but when," said Alexander
Gostev, principal antivirus
researcher for Kaspersky.
According to Gostev, one of
the first pieces of the
operating system to be
attacked will be PatchGuard,
the code that protects the
Vista kernel.
"One
of the first things to be
targeted will be the
technology which is meant to
make getting access to the
kernel more difficult," said
Gostev. "Particularly because
there are already approaches
for evaluating this
technology."

conference in London on

Svajcer
said: "I always say, 'Do not
rely on antivirus software'.
In 99 per cent of cases you
cannot. The problem is we have
to see a virus before we can
detect it. If antivirus is in
place, it may not detect [a
virus] because it may be very
targeted for you."..

09.09.2005ZoneAlarm Security Suite 7.1 Adds Vista Support
Check Point Software today
released ZoneAlarm Internet
Security Suite 7.1, a
Vista-compatible version of
its flagship security suite.
Vista-compatible versions of
ZoneAlarm Antivirus and the
popular free ZoneAlarm
Firewall are also available.
Past versions of
ZoneAlarm's products have
relied on Microsoft's TDI
(Transport Device Interface)
to track network behavior.
Windows Vista retains support
for TDI, but introduces the
new Windows Filtering Platform
(WFP). While porting to Vista
using TDI would have been
easier, Check Point chose to
support WFP for this
Vista-compatible version. When
installed on Windows 2000 and
XP, however, version 7.1 will
still use TDI.
Check
Point is the first major
security vendor to make use of
the Vista-specific Windows
Filtering Platform. Company
representatives explained that
Microsoft will stop fixing
problems with TDI in the
future, so by utilizing WFP,
users can be prepared for
