I've new idea for Lisp OS, which would eliminate even the possibility of writing a virus:
Unauthorized program should't be able to access filesystem or internet. Every program should be limited in access only to files and directories provided by the user, while internet access is given only to programs installed under apps.interned_allowed directory. There should be a way to reject privileges given to file/directory handles, so accessing them would produce exception. Users shouldn't see outside of their home directory and all file-sharing should be explicit. User password should be too kept under's home directory, so it could be changed without much fuzz with /etc/passwd.
