PC Mag | at | by Mike
Is Microsoft taking the blame? How is the world's largest software maker working to improve PC security? Will Windows always be so vulnerable to viruses, worms, and malicious spyware? To find out, PC Magazine editor-in-chief Michael J. Miller spoke to Mike Nash, head of Microsoft's security business and technology unit.
Q: There's a perception in the marketplace that Microsoft is somehow to blame for our recent security woes, for the ever-growing number of virus and spyware attacks. How do you react to that?
A: I think that if you look at the relative security of Microsoft versus anything else that's out there, the evidence shows that there are fewer vulnerabilities in Windows than in other platforms.
