Symantec: MS Making Vista Insecure

Vista PatchGuard Hacked

,----[ Quote ]
| "Hackers have already broken PatchGuard and can disable it.
| This means that hackers can already get malicious code into
| the Windows Vista kernel; while legitimate security vendors
| can no longer protect it. This presents a serious new risk
| for consumers and enterprises worldwide," stated Oliver
| Friedrichs director of emerging technologies in Symantec
| Security Respons.

This should be a compelling reason to get out of this
relationship (with Microsoft) as early as possible. Vista might be
as 'secure' as Windows XP. Symantec's CEO has already advised
people to ditch the platform---his very own bread and butter.


What a SHOCKER! Who would have guesses it wouldn't be secure???!!!!

LOL!!!!
