> I think a better approach is to limit the damage that gets done, which is what Polaris and Plash do.  With Polaris, most of the time users only know that they made a bad choice and malware ran if the virus scan detects some remnant.  In the most extreme case, one user (MarkM) had to re-Polarize his browser, but even that is only a minor inconvenience compared to the alternative.

ideally, i guess: the damage would be limited (yay pola); it would
somehow be pretty clear what went wrong; the ui would indicate how to
resolve it and e.g. offer undo buttons for any easy cases; an average
user whatever that means would not find the whole gestalt too
confusing.

sincerely.
