Computer code that exploits a security vulnerability in Windows has been published on the Internet, making it more urgent for users of the operating system to patch.
Security vendors are claiming Microsoft was deliberately withholding access to its Vista spyware product, but the software giant denied the charge.
The public release of computer code that exploits a yet-to-be-patched Windows security hole increases the possibility of widespread attacks, security experts have warned.
Around 100,000 users have been infected with malware that has piggybacked on Windows updates. A Trojan, which began circulating in March via spammed e-mail, used an unique technique to download malicious files, according to a report from security research firm Symantec.
Microsoft and its security rivals are feuding over a key piece of Windows Vista real estate.
Microsoft has corrected a mistake in its anti-spyware product that flagged some Symantec security tools as malicious software.
Security technology company Symantec reported Thursday that it has analyzed what it believes to be the first known threat to 64-bit Windows systems, a virus labeled W64.Rugrat.3344.
The software maker takes the wraps off its upcoming Norton Antivirus 2004, pitching the updated security software as an antidote to complex viruses such as the MSBlast worm.

A spike in Internet traffic caused by a worm over the weekend can be largely blamed on bad passwords and poor security practices, security experts said on Monday.
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.
By rewriting much of the code, Symantec made Norton AntiVirus 2007 faster and lighter than its 2006 version, but a few glitches here and there keep us from granting it our Editors' Choice award.
Are you safer today with Norton or with McAfee?
Norton adds worm protection to Norton AntiVirus 2005, but for the price, the company should have added a full firewall instead.
