"There's lots of innovation going on in security - we're inundated with a steady stream of new stuff and it all sounds like it works just great. Every couple of months I'm invited to a new computer security conference, or I'm asked to write a foreword for a new computer security book. And, thanks to the fact that it's a topic of public concern and a "safe issue" for politicians, we can expect a flood of computer security-related legislation from lawmakers. So: computer security is definitely still a "hot topic." But why are we spending all this time and money and still having problems?"

"His suggestion for an anti-virus program is great. Just make fingerprints of all executable code that is allowed to run, and don't allow unknown code. Then you have a database of a few hundereds of programs instead of a database of thousands of malicious programs."
"The main problem is that Virii, etc. nowadays more often than not mimick the valid apps. How do you lock down an application or process that is mascarading or mimicking another? Things become far more complicated than I think this article gives credit for."
i agree with both of you. We need a program like ProcessGuard built in to the os with a Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)256 encryption algorithm or the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to prevent code modification and termination.
