Abstract

See full text

A secure computing environment that prevents malicious code from “illegitimately” interacting with programs and data residing on the computing platform. While the various embodiments restrict certain programs to operate in a virtualized environment, such operation is transparent to the user from the operational point of view. Moreover, any program operating in the virtualized environment is made to believe that it has full access to all of the computing resources. To prevent a user from unknowingly or inadvertently allowing the program to adversely affect the computer, the user is also presented with “feel” that the program is able to perform all operations in the computing environment.
