In a rare discussion on the severity of the Windows malware scourge, a Microsoft security official said businesses should consider investing in an automated process to wipe hard drives and reinstall operating systems as a practical way to recover from malware infestation. "When you are dealing with rootkits and some advanced spyware programs, the only solution is to rebuild from scratch. In some cases, there really is no way to recover without nuking the systems from orbit."

The linux way of installing apps is to get them from a trusted possibly signed repository. ActiveX was a bad idea, just as the open button on malware.exe download dialog. what i hope to see is a save as dialog running in a separate process. this way apps only have to have read&write access to a config file (maybe directory), using fast ipc to "save as" process to open/save other files.
