Sandbox security versus the evil Web

More Effort Needed

These products work well when the malware has been circulating for a while and their behavour becomes known. Very few are able to detect new malware unless the malware does something obvious and even then most rely on a warning to the un-security educated user to make a decision.

As we know the malware writers are much more organized bunch of people, writing some very sophisticated code. It's time the industry stopped waving a fly swot at the charging bull and focused on intelligent solutions to this problem.

The vast bloated software from the AV industry which degrades the system performance, corrupts the OS and generally provides a false sense of security isn’t good enough. The products in this review at least make an attempt to improve security but still at the cost of vast numbers of users getting infected before the products understand the behaviour to start protecting. This still isn’t good enough.

Analysing program execution in real time is the only method that will detect malware in sufficient time to be effective and it is this direction the industry should put more effort.
