<description><![CDATA[Anti-virus technology fails to prevent computers from virus infections. And because it fails, it inadvertently assists many security woes that plague the computer population. Fortunately, whitelisting technology has emerged in recent years. Whitelisting technology takes a different approach to the malware problem, recording all valid programs and preventing others from executing. Because of this approach, it can be and is used to prevent other ills, such as spyware, adware, unlicensed software or any other kind of unauthorized software. Whitelisting can be applied to device control as well, which prevents the attaching of unauthorized devices to corporate PCs and laptops.]]></description>
