Windows Vista might be Microsoft's most secure operating system yet, but its Windows SideBar and gadgets could pose security threats, according to Symantec.
Antivirus specialist Symantec has joined a security organisation alongside Microsoft, despite having previously come to very public blows with the software giant over its willingness to share security information on Vista.
Some of Microsoft's efforts to make Windows Vista its most stable and secure operating system ever could cause instability and new security flaws, according to a Symantec report.
An online Microsoft meeting to discuss Windows Vista changes crashed shortly after it started Thursday, and Symantec and McAfee were unable to reconnect.

Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioral monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.
As we await final code and therefore test results on the overall performance of this year's version of Norton AntiVirus, the new interface and features alone do not suggest an automatic KO in our latest antivirus roundup of 2008 products.
If you need to partition your live hard drive, Norton PartitionMagic 8 is still the application to beat.
