[QUOTE="kailyn, post: 1091574, member: 113651"] That is a people problem that cannot be solved with software. Microsoft should, once and for all, lay down the rules and not waiver. Unsigned DLLs are a pariah and the only correct and effective way to deal with them is to block them while at the same time create some mechanism where widely used, long-standing unsigned DLLs are signed for the greater common good. That is another people problem. Microsoft should not have to deal with people and their problems. Their ignorance and bad behaviors. Security is not software. It is a process. (And that process has to be handled entirely and properly by the user side, and not the developer side.) The world is changing and the old models that cater to "users want to use stuff" have been obsolete for a long time by now. The reason nobody wants to tackle all those user issues is because dealing with people is such an awful task. However, with the ascendancy of AI moving forward, things that people really are not going to like is going to have to be done. The rules about users and what they are allowed and not allowed to do is going to have to change otherwise sticking to dinosaur thinking of "users want to use stuff" shall be bring down entire societies via malicious campaigns. There are attack models being studied at top world universities regarding how future malware campaigns will unfold and it is a really ugly picture. A single home user "that wants to use stuff" will be the genesis of an attack that brings down an entire national electrical grid. In that future, SAC will not nearly be enough. Going forward, Microsoft is going to have to become much more authoritarian with its operating systems and software to protect society. If it does not then mass global disruption of the worst kind shall proceed like clock-work. I know people here at MT cannot cope with this. Lots of people here are stuck in the past of "users want to use stuff and they must be allowed to do so." Lots of people here at MT stuck in the past are just dead wrong. They can be forgiven because they cannot help themselves. They are stuck in their belief that a "user that wants to use stuff" must always come first. Well, catering to user whims is the reason we're at where we're at as far as the malware problem. That model never has worked because it never could work - ever. [/QUOTE]
