Vista still insecure, says security vendor
Security vendor PC Tools has released more research to back up its claim that Vista is far from immune to infection.
In an attempt to reinforce its claim that Vista is less secure than Windows 2000, PC Tools on Monday released statistics, collected over the six months since last November, from customers using its ThreatFire security software.
The company found that of 190,692 Vista machines, 121,380 were infected with at least one piece of malware, while some were infected by up to 19 pieces of malicious code. 74 percent of the infections were adware, while 17 percent were Trojan infections.
