According to foreign media reports, although Microsoft has always declared that Vista is much more secure than Windows XP, a security expert of the company recently revealed that Vista will not bring too much change to the operating system security.
Mark Russinovich, a technical researcher at Microsoft platform and service, said at the CanSecWest Security Conference that hackers and virus makers can easily adapt to Vista's new framework. He pointed out that Vista's User Account Control Function can prevent malware from modifying the operating system, but it is not a security boundary and cannot guarantee absolute security.

Lasiinovic predicts that malware will use specific permission escalation technologies in the future to trick users into clicking the "allow" option in the pop-up dialog box of the User Account Control function, so as to improve the permissions of specific malicious files. Malware makers will improve attack methods so that they can complete intrusion without obtaining full control of the computer. In other words, hackers can implement various hacker functions in the normal user environment, including botnets and key records.
