Kaspersky: Vista will determine the development trend of computer viruses

Kaspersky, a well-known security software vendor, recently reported that Microsoft's next-generation operating system Windows Vista will determine the future development trend of computer viruses.
According to British media reports, Kaspersky predicts that Windows Vista will play a decisive role in the development of computer viruses in the next few years. kaspersky said in a report: "Although computer viruses cannot change dramatically in the short term, Vista will determine its development trend."

Alexander Gostev, a Kaspersky researcher, previously said that although Vista is currently more secure than other versions of Windows systems, it will become the main target of hackers as Vista becomes increasingly popular.

Gostev said: "The problem is when the Vista vulnerability will be discovered, rather than whether it exists." With the gradual popularization of Windows Vista, 90% of computer viruses will be infected with the Vista system in the future.

The report also pointed out that in the future, the number of viruses targeting OS X, Unix and other systems will also increase significantly. In addition, game consoles of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo may also be hard to escape from virus attacks.
