Kaspersky Lab issues warning that will make Microsoft WinCE.

Microsoft's Windows CE is "extremely vulnerable" to mobile malware, industry experts warned today.

A new report from Kaspersky Lab said that Windows CE is wide open because it has no restrictions on executable applications and their processes.

Once launched, a program can gain full access to any Windows CE operating system function, such as receiving or transmitting files, alog with phone and multimedia functions. "Creating applications for Windows CE is easy," said Aleks Gostev, senior virus analyst at Kaspersky Lab.
