Medical certificates for computers

Scott Charney, vice president of Microsoft Trustworthy Computing, last year suggested the development of ways of dealing with virtual viruses, which are used by people to fight against their brethren the real. In particular, networked computers will need to obtain special encrypted certificates that will certify the absence of this unit of malicious software and security for other users.

In turn, the provider each time you try to connect to the Internet must request the certificate, and then only to provide access to a PC or to recommend to send it for processing. Most industry experts have criticized this approach as it tries to limit the freedom of the Internet and to invade the privacy of users.
