I’m running Linux Ubuntu, which I have patched upand locked down in various ways but I’m still unsatisfied with the level of security provided to me.

While my system is heavily protected against exploits it does nothing to stop me from being an idiot. Yeah, I can browser a website with a vulnerability without worry but I can’t download malware and install it. That’s what I want. I want to be able to download malware, install it, and still be secure.

Is that too much to ask for?

I can think of at least one security model that would protect a user from themselves without restricting the users abilities. It’s hard to imagine that I’m the only one who’s thought of it.
