I never fail to wonder what could we do to stop them. Isn't there anything that could be done? An anti-worm, tracking down the origin, anything?

  Requiring every process to have a digital signature.

    Then you have the whole problem of what signatures to trust, etc. Behavioural analysis is pretty much the only effective counter-measure I'm aware of at the moment, and that's still in its infancy. (and really hard)

      It would make prosecutions easier, where appropriate.

        As far as I'm aware there are unscrupulous companies that will happily sell you SSL certificates without checking up on you at all. Aside from that, I'd have a serious problem with a central authority controlling what I'm allowed to run. Aside from that, any such technology isn't infallible either.

          Then we prosecute the companies. Why is that so hard to do the right thing?
