Vista Patch, Is NOT Meant To Enhance The Compatibility Of A Rogue !

by happyandyk . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

I have seen some talk, about how a Windows Vista Update/Patch KB943302, supposedly enhances the Program Compatibility for WinAntivirus Pro 2007 v5.0.356, a program considered as a Rogue !

The Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update, being referred to may a little old, being dated Dec 2007, but it just appears to have been updated or reviewed on January 11th 2008.

This update is a package that addresses common application compatibility issues in Windows Vista.

The programs being mentioned are:
Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 – 7.07
WinAntivirus Pro 2007 v5.0.356
Webroot Software Spy Sweeper 5.0
Omniquad Total Security 2.0.3.0
Windows Internet Explorer 7

However people seemed to have missed the point. The Article mentions that “…this update improves application compatibility in Windows Vista by implementing a block on the application, by providing a notification that the application is not Windows Vista-compatible, or by providing an update to improve functionality…”

So in effect while the update will improve compatibility for legit programs it is planned to block some !
