Test: the security of Vista and XP is almost the same

According to the latest test report, the security of Microsoft's next-generation operating system Windows Vista is almost the same as that of XP in May 31. In terms of spyware interception, Vista has a slight advantage because it integrates Defender.

CRN Test Center (crn tc) recently compared the security of Windows Vista and Windows XP, without installing any third-party security software, windows Vista is only slightly better than XP in some aspects.

For example, Vista and XP have almost identical security performance in dealing with viruses, dangerous ActiveX controls, script attacks, graphics vulnerabilities, VML vulnerabilities, malicious web pages, and known URL links, the score is also the same.

Vista is better than XP in some aspects, such as dealing with spyware/advertising software, code attacks, RDS attacks, and Trojan horses. However, this is mainly because Vista has built-in security tools such as Windows Defender.

It can be seen that enterprises can only get a little bit of security assurance from XP to Vista. In addition, because of the various tests above, the XP and Vista systems in the two laptops used for the test are all "destroyed" by viruses, Trojans, and other malware ", because most of the malicious websites used in the test can break Vista.
