We couldn't agree more with Carl Weinshenk in his piece on Malware Protection. Blacklisting and Whitelisting will co-exist. Questions of whether something is good or bad, good for me or bad for me, are part of the same continuum of the same curiosity about files and applications that cannot and should not operate in vacuum. It is obvious that someone would want to know that unapproved or unauthorized piece of software is in fact malicious. Similarly it is of paramount value to offer the user a comfort of knowing that a suspicious piece code on your machine (e.g. svchost.exe) is in fact a legitimate part of your Windows OS distribution.
