Vista comes with built-in antispyware software, and new account profile file privileges that may keep users from installing malware. The top-end versions come with a feature called BitLocker that encrypts a computer's hard drive in the case of a lost or stolen machine. Vista comes in five versions: Ultimate, Home Premium, Home Basic, Business, and Enterprise.
