Vista's Despised UAC Nails Rootkits, Tests Find | |
|
||
| Time: 00:25 EST/05:25 GMT | News Source: PC World | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Love or hate its nagging prompts, Vista's Account Control feature (UAC) has a security feature that marks it out from any other type of Windows security programme -- it can spot rootkits before they install. The answer was not particularly well at all, either for Windows XP, or Vista-oriented products. Of 30 rootkits thrown at XP anti-malware scanners, none of the seven AV suites found all 30, a similar story to the six web-based scanners assessed. Only four of the 14 specialized anti-rootkit tools managed a perfect score. | ||

"The results for Vista products were harder to assess because only six rootkits could run on the OS, but the testers had to turn off UAC to get even this far. "
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
