One-third of business users blame Microsoft for the recent worm outbreak, despite the company's security efforts, according to a poll.
Thirty-five percent of respondents to an informal Web survey of customers by security company Sophos said the software maker was ultimately at fault for the recent rash of worms spawned by variants of Zotob. In the poll results, released on Thursday, 45 percent placed the blame squarely on the virus writers, while 20 percent laid blame on their systems administrators for not patching systems fast enough.
