Enhanced Virus Protection

Processors based on AMD64 technology, when combined with the upcoming Windows® XP Service Pack 2, are designed to control how the information stored in system memory is treated. In this animation, you'll see how AMD64 processors can distinguish a string of malicious code from regular data and treat it as read/write only.

The virus is moved from the processor and trapped in the buffer overflow memory space where it is unable to execute and eventually destroyed.
