published on November 13th, 2006 . by joe

Microsoft admitted today on a company blog that Vista will not be immune to viruses and will need an antivirus utility installed.  Well, no duh!

Windows Vista does require antivirus stoftware after all, Windows chief Jim Allchin wrote on a company blog.

“I want to be clear, most users will use some form of antivirus software, and that will be appropriate for their scenarios,” Allchin wrote.

The co-president of platform and services responded to media reports last week that quoted him as saying that the forthcoming operating system didn’t need any antivirus software because of it’s enhanced security. Allchin countered that the remarks were taken out of context.
