Symantec is thinking up ways to take the pain out of a security feature in Windows Vista.
European security vendors aren't making as much noise as Symantec over Microsoft's move into the security space, but they're certainly concerned.
A tool provided by Microsoft could let people get around a check meant to prevent those with pirated copies of Windows from downloading additional software from Microsoft, according to a security researcher.
Microsoft on Tuesday in the US issued five security bulletins with fixes for eight flaws, including a "critical" zero-day vulnerability in Windows that also affects Vista.
Counterfeiters aren't Microsoft's only opponents in its effort to combat piracy: Some of its customers are against it, too.
For the second time in as many weeks a group of security professionals has released a third-party fix for a Windows flaw that is actively being used in cyberattacks.
Some of Microsoft's efforts to make Windows Vista its most stable and secure operating system ever could cause instability and new security flaws, according to a Symantec report.
