The magic word is releasing patches or
services packs. Although, it looks like this is the right approach to this problem it does
eradicate the problem and provide temporarily relief from threats. We need a holistic
approach to deal with the root of the problem not with it consequences. As a matter of
fact operating system patches manage to avoid the threat temporarily, since what they
usually do is a mere change of names or locations of important operating system files
used by malware. In other occasions Microsoft has even discontinued shipping certain
programs with its operating systems as a security measure against malware, therefore not
dealing with the main problems: design and security.
