Windows security software FAIL?
,----[ Quote ]
| It will be interesting to see how long it
| takes the security vendors to respond,
| either in the form of software patches or
| corporate denials, but in the meantime one
| does have to wonder if Windows security is
| if not dead in the water then certainly
| floundering around a little. One thing is
| for sure, if security researchers can
| uncover these problems, and if the bad guys
| can uncover these problems, one has to
| wonder why the vendors themselves are not
| made aware of them during the security
| software testing process?
