Kaspersky is the latest security firm to defend the importance of third-party security apps to work with Windows Vista, claiming that Vista’s new security features are unlikely to deliver long-term robust protection.

The company has published an article examining Vista’s new security features, and claims users cannot rely on them to protect their PCs.

Kaspersky’s Alisa Shevchenko looks at Vista features such as User Account Control, Patchguard and Internet Explorer 7’s security tools. She said Microsoft’s efforts to enhance security are a positive step, but not enough to remove the need for third-party security software.

Is anyone really surprised by this?
Of course they don't think its enough.. if they did then they would go out of business!

Vista is probably going to be like xp when it comes to virues. If you use commen sense and keep it updated than everything should be fine.
If you click on junk email, download crap off p2p, and go to warez sites than your going to get lots of junk.

When will people learn that's all I have to say. I'm just tired of these new Os's cause they don't get any better. They...Just...Get...Worse!

OMG!!! Heres Windows vista with a brand new Search feature...O....Wow that really Interest me. O...how about the new Security Features? Hmm... I bet that's really an Improvement!!!

People NO MATTER WHAT OS you have besides Windows 95 and ME you'll always be protected and updated to use some of the new devices still produced today. You'll be protected by Anti-Spyware Apps and such. Just...Keep...Them...Updated!!!

How about Vista's new Interface? O...and may look pretty but HEY Microsoft!!! Looks aren't everything!!! Stop waisting time on stuff people could careless about.
