Thumbs down Vista anti-malware products fail virus tests

Virus Bulletin tests looked at 37 different Vista-based security programs and found 17 failed, including big name products from McAfee, Sophos, and Trend Micro

It's fortunate that Vista-specific malware is still in its infancy because a new test of anti-malware products running on the platform has found that many don't work as well as they should.

The latest independent Virus Bulletin tests looked at 37 different Vista-based security programs to see which could manage to reach the level of threat detection required for VB100 Certification. Out of 37 tested, 17 failed the tests, including big-name products from McAfee, Sophos, and Trend Micro.
