I'll need to take a look at it. The few products I'm reviewed so far (McAfee & Kaspersky) claim white listing capability, but they don't go far enough in verifying files (date/time, location, sometimes a single hash only). Would be cool to find something that bucks the trend. Hey Anthony,

Is that not so? I bought it anyway. If I may add, Zone Alarm Extreme seems to be a whitelisting solution now available for consumers, and well designed. Is that not so? I bought it anyway.

While some AV vendors are starting to add in white listing support to their desktop suites, it is pretty minimal. I'm currently working with a few vendors to try and make this technology available to the typical home user. I'll post an update when a beta is release (should be by the end of the year). Thanks for the post, Chris Hey Anthony,

But you are obviously dealing with enterprise software so I wonder if there is any application white listing software for the average user? On to google but I think you might include a paragraph on that point to help individuals who come across your irrefutable reasoning, and therefore realize there must be a better way, if available, because you could mention which you believe to be the best, which would be highly relevant. Anyway thanks for what you wrote.
