In this week's edition of Risky Business, Patrick Gray tells how he got a chance to talk to a stack of AV guys about problems with whitelisting technology. It's showing a lot of promise, but you still can't throw out the blacklists just yet. The future of anti-malware is looking bloody complicated.
