Windows ‘fails’ active virus test

From BBC News:

Security tools that work with Windows Vista have failed tests to see if they can detect viruses circulating online.

Microsoft’s Windows Live OneCare security tool was one of four products that failed independent tests carried out by the Virus Bulletin.

The security testing group found that Live OneCare missed far more active viruses than any other program tested.
