London, 20th January 2011 - Commenting on the latest annual Secunia security vulnerability report, Idappcom says that blaming third-party apps for security problems on PCs is the incorrect way of approaching the perennial problem of the way software applications interact with each other.
According to Anthony Haywood, CTO with the data traffic analysis and security specialist, the problem of inter-application security issues has been around ever since the Windows API was first seen way back in 1985.
"A lot has changed in the last 26 years, not least the number of function calls which the WinAPI now supports, having increased massively since the original 450 seen in Windows 1.0," he said.
