Windows Security : Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Breaks Security Programs

Windows Security

BitDefender, Trend Micro and Check Point must be updated before working with Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1). This is the warning coming from Microsoft.

The ETA for this major update is three weeks. An updated list (which
includes BitDefender AV and BitDefender Internet Security, version 10;
Trend Micro Internet Security 2008; Zone Alarm Security Suite, version
7.1.078; and Jiangmin KV Antivirus, versions 10 and 2008) of
third-party software that doesn't work with Vista SP1 showed that some
security suites will be excluded from launching once with the
installation of the service pack.

The official declaration of the company was that "For reliability reasons, Microsoft blocks these programs from starting after you install Windows Vista SP1".
Heather Haas, spokeswoman for Check Point, remarked that "The current version of [ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite], 7.1.218, is compatible with Vista SP1 and is not blocked".

Among the non-security programs listed by Microsoft are New York Times Reader and Novell's ZCM Agent.

Microsoft done something similar almost three years ago when last updated Windows XP. Then, the list was three times longer that now and it included security tools, like Norton AntiVirus and ZoneAlarm.

Vista SP1 will be rolled out to Windows Update in mid-March as an optional download, and then as an automatic download to most Vista machines. The motif of the holdup is the problem with an unspecified number of hardware device drivers.

The RTM (release to manufacturing) code was released to beta testers, Volume Licensing customers, and subscribers to TechNet Plus and Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN). Only after a publicly made complaining of the IT professionals and Windows developers that they had to download pirated copies of SP1, they beneficiated the services.
