Yuppers, I'm the owner, I'll do what I like.
The point I've been
trying to get across is:
How does your new system know whether something I'm
doing was what I intended vs what I didn't intend?
So if I'm reconfiguring
the boot system - such as after having installed a new system along with the
others - how does your software know to allow it? How will it know when I
really didn't intend to do that?
If a human can't - with 100% certainty -
be able to identify whether or not someone intended to do something... how can
you possibly program a computer to be able to do that?
Ergo... if it
can't be sure I intended to alter the boot system, then either it has to take a
chance that it might be a virus involved, or in the alternative prevent me from
altering the boot system.
What I can do... a virus - or program - can do
with or without my explicit request.
After all... it's only intent that
truly defines the difference between a program doing what I wanted it to do and
a program doing what I didn't want it to do. Intent separates the program from
the virus.
Ergo - the only virus-proof system is one that does not allow
anything!
I'll stop now, the logic is going in circles and repeating. By
all means... if you really believe you can create a virus-proof OS, Good
Luck!
