From Intel's labs: Virus hunters and power savers

Interesting, but...: I'd be concerned with how it decides when to isolate a machine. I'd hate to install a web service on a machine for testing and have the hardware decide that my test traffic (which would not be normal) was grounds to disconnect from the net.

Or if I was sharing code or files and then when people started pulled the data, the spike in traffic was seen as a problem..

It all sounds good, but I'd want to be able to turn it off easily, and I'd want to test it a bunch before rolling it out in production.; Posted by: woot! Posted on: 08/25/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
