Microsoft's own anti-virus software fails to keep Vista safe

Got Vista? Read on. Just released data from Virus Bulletin shows that in a test of 15 anti-virus packages certified for Windows Vista, four packages fail to identify a test suite of common viruses in current circulation. The four packages receiving failing marks were Microsoft's Live OneCare, McAfee VirusScan Enterprise Edition, G DATA AntiVirusKit 2007, and Norman Virus Control.

While Microsoft pledged to improve Live OneCare, McAfee representatives expressed skepticism about the test and its validity, claiming that Virus Bulletin's researchers were not using the most recent McAfee updates.
