    The list of security products includes Zone Alarm Security Suite 7.1, Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, and BitDefender 10.

    A major update to Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)'s Windows Vista operating system could leave computers vulnerable to hackers and malware as the service pack prevents several widely used antivirus programs from operating, the company said.

    The list of security products that Windows Vista Service Pack 1 blocks includes Zone Alarm Security Suite 7.1, Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, and BitDefender 10. It also blocks the 2008 version of the Jiangmin antivirus product.

    Microsoft said the blocks occur because the antivirus programs are not compatible with Vista SP1. "For reliability reasons, Microsoft blocks these programs from starting after you install Windows Vista SP1," the company said in a statement posted Wednesday on its support Web site.

    Microsoft also said Vista SP1 prevents a small number of other programs from working properly, including Novell's ZCM Agent and The New York Times reader software.

    Be aware that XP pro sp3 is also a problem. Advised this date to stay with XP pro SP2 or the best of them all Win 2000

    Dave, thanks for that information. I have the SP1 update sent from a friend and was about to install it. I use Micro Trend PC Cillin, which, in my opinion is the best protection available. I will not install SP1 until Trend Micro announces a fix, or Gates get his head out of his you kinow what. What a joke. I have had no problems of significance with Vista, however.

    Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
