"We’re working on methods of writing software which by design won’t be able to carry out any behind-the-scenes, undeclared activity," Kaspersky said on Tuesday.

Probably while tripping LSD after a multi-day bender. Then again, it is a Russian security agency, so maybe part of the OS is a dude with a bottle of vodka and a SMG standing next to your mainframe.

Kaspersky is no joke, but you'd think they'd be smarter than that...
