Blocking Unknown Downloads
A government funded research group is preparing to release a new free tool designed to block "drive-by downloads," of an unwanted program, usually without the visitor's consent or knowledge. The yet unreleased software is called "BLADE," (short for Block All Drive-By Download Exploits). One of the research groups involved in the project reports that so far none of the exploit sites has been able to get past BLADE, which acts as a kind of sandbox for the browser that prevents bad stuff from being written to the hard drive.
