  Symantec: Out of the Box, Vista Prone to Legacy Threats
Time: 16:12 EST/21:12 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Andre Da Costa

Symantec Security Response has spent months throwing every hack but the kitchen sink at Microsoft's Vista operating system, and on Feb. 28 it released a series of papers that showed just how bloodied or victorious Vista remained. he result: "There are existing codes that can survive Vista without being modified— [certain] keyloggers, worms, Trojans, and spyware are able to survive," said Symantec Research Scientist Ollie Whitehouse in an interview with eWEEK. The current threat level of the Vista security-resistant malware is "relatively low," Whitehouse said, but he said that out of box, Vista already has several legacy threats. "It won't take much for [those] to evolve," he said.
