  Microsoft blames Vista insecurity on third party applications
Time: 00:40 EST/05:40 GMT | News Source: VNUNet | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Windows Vista by itself is immune to existing Windows malware, but third party email applications could compromise the operating system's security, Microsoft's co-president for the platform and services division charged in a blog posting.

The Windows chief responded to a study that security vendor Sophos published late November. The firm tried to infect a system running Vista with the ten most prevalent viruses of November 2006, and found that three of those were able to penetrate the operating system's defenses.

The study raised eyebrows because Microsoft typically touts Windows Vista security features as one of the software's top benefits.
