Security rivals' reaction to word that Microsoft will make changes in Windows Vista to allay competitive concerns: We'll believe it when we see it.
PatchGuard, a Microsoft technology to protect key parts of Windows, will be hacked sooner rather than later, a security expert said Thursday in Canada.
A protective feature in Windows is locking out the good guys, but letting in a lot of bad guys, according to security software makers.
The debate surrounding Windows Security Center and PatchGuard has turned vicious, with McAfee and Microsoft both claiming that the other is motivated by commercial factors rather than security concerns.
Security company Kaspersky claimed that Vista's User Account Control (UAC), the system of user privileges that can be used to restrict users' administrative rights, will be so annoying that users will disable it.
Vendors Symantec and McAfee have looked into the future and don't want to become the next Netscapes.
