WindowsSecurityCenterWPUS.doc this is the name of the file that comprises the voice of security for Windows Vista according to Microsoft. Delivering support for Windows 2000; Windows Server 2003; Windows Vista; Windows XP and Microsoft Office Word, The Voice of Security for Windows Vista is designed as a whitepaper providing details for Microsoft Windows Security Center.

"Windows Security Center (WSC) is a comprehensive security status reporting console that enables Windows Vista customers to understand the ongoing security state of their computer, and provides a method for third-party ISVs to evaluate the current security state of the system. Windows Security Center collects information from Microsoft Windows and third-party security components designed to protect users from computer threats. To provide users with a higher degree of security protection, Windows Security Center now reports the status of security components and provides the capability for direct remediation of unsafe settings for both Windows components and third-party security solutions," stated Microsoft.

Introduced with Windows XP Service Pack 2, WSC was adapted and enhanced to tailor fit Windows Vista. Designed as a background process for security monitoring, WSC will also integrate with the additional security features and third-party solutions implemented in the operating system.

"Microsoft has increased the security categories monitored by WSC beyond internet firewall, Automatic Updates and anti-virus to include malware protection, which monitors anti-spyware status, and a new category for other security settings, which monitors internet security settings and User Account Control," concluded the Redmond Company on the Download Center.
