What is the future of malware you ask? According to these guys in the not so distant future malware will execute solely on your GPU.

Site may be slashdotted. Personally I'd like to thank these guys for giving malware writers the idea now.

Didn't read yet, but...

Almost all modern CPU has a build in execution disable bit.
This prevents any buffer overflow attacks.

In other news Intel had acquire McAfee for 7.6B. Hopefully they'll some how integrated their securities into future processors in the hardware level.

Nothing special, the memory is still in a process, just has a different processor for the math part, but os specific stuff(network and disk access) still happens on the cpu part
See it like using a vm like .net or java to code your program
Debugging to find out what it does might be a bit harder but that's just secondary
