Vista Is Still Susceptible to Older Malware

Since its release, Microsoft Windows Vista has already been reported to be
affected by old malware. In particular, Vista has been found to be susceptible
to three common malware exploits:
Stratio-Zip W32/Stratio-Zip is a family of Zip ?les containing
worms in the Stration family.
Netsky-D W32/Netsky-D is a worm that spreads via e-mail. When
e-mailing itself the worm can spoof the senderís e-mail address.
MyDoom-O W32/MyDoom-O is an e-mail worm that creates a ?le
named services.exe in the Windows or Temp folder, and then runs
the ?le. Services.exe is a backdoor component. The worm then
searches the hard diskís e-mail addresses.
When deploying Vista, be aware that although malware defense has
been forti?ed, it still has its faults. For more information on this subject,
