I keep hearing these commercials on the radio about a processor which keeps virusses out (AMD athlon). Is this bullshit or what? How can a processor be anti-virus?

AV Processor? Sounds improbable, but... Maybe they are working on something like that... But still sounds little... I don't know how it sounds, but I doubt that AV industry will allow it that easily

Probably on the future version of Windows, this Anti Virus processors can defeat piracy. I think is has the encrption unique code on every computers...

I looked it up. It seems that the new ADM 64 processor has a built in protection versus buffer overflow security leaks (as where arrays crash because they are too small). Check out this site. As with the future version of windows, that's hardly 'protection'. It's a controll where the vendor can check what you do with the content of your HD to ensure you don't have any illegal stuff on your PC. Garanteed security leaks.

I have heard about something being built into the new processors(not currently) but it hasnt to do with viruses its solely to try to defeat piracy. I think its a bad idea because not only does it conflict with our legal rights to back-up our software it also may interfere with legit copies of your own data im not to sure how it will all work but i currently dislike the idea. also it may slow down processing time due to the fact it has to check to make sure ur not pirating anything.

Athlon 64 has hardware Intrustion Detection (IDS) if thats what you guys mean, it compares checksums of the hashes of the executed programs on hardware, just like what most firewalls do on software. Its a pretty neat idea actually, and may be the future in combating trojans and worms. Just like AV programs practically wiped out viri.
