Story: Europe fears Microsoft's security push

It's not quite to the point but I installed Vista 5728 on Wednesday and on Thursday I visited a site which collected my email addresses and started vigorously spamming me with phishing emails. The connection between the site visited and the spam is absolutely unambiguous
This means that this site was able to access my computer and lift my email addresses with apparant ease. So much for Vista being the most secure system ever. Windows Defender and PC-cillin Internet Security 14 are installed. However, I do note the difficulty in finding anti virus programmes which will work with Vista this near to release.
The origin of this spam is not yet blacklisted
I cannot find out how to tell Microsoft about this intrusion.
