Google and the Stop Badware Coalition Team Up to Warn of Malicious WebsitesWatch out, there's adware aboutPublished Monday 7th August 2006 10:35 GMT
Google has teamed up with an anti-malware organisation to offer warnings when search results might otherwise lead surfers to sites hosting malicious code. The search engine giant is using data from the Stop Badware Coalition (StopBadware.org) to display warnings about potentially harmful sites. In this way, Google hopes to provide users with a safer searching experience.

If the Operating System design is the issue, how will creating more operating systems under VM solve the problem? One XP or Windows server, whether running under VM or without, still has the same vulnerabilities... VM allows for the maximization of hardware resources, but I've never heard it made anything more secure. Whether you have 10 stand alone systems or 10 VM systems, they all have to be maintained, secured and patched: VM solves no security problems and some might say it ads more because of one more software stack to maintain and patch... |

It seems to me that the basic PC security problems is in the Operating System design. The Internet Interface is intergraqted with the PC Operating system and has access to everything in it and on the PC's disks. The only real solution, in my opinion, is using the Virtual Machine Operating system contepts. That is, the PC and the Internet Interface would each have a hardware/operating view of seperate machines. The IBM VM Operating system is a perfect example of this and allows multiple operating systems on the same hardware, each isolated from the other. Any data sharing would then only be intentional through some kind of comman - accessable storage.
