whitelist for anti-virus? so anything else outside sa whitelist is a virus or unwanted or at least "unconfirmed" program? kinda like microsoft's antispyware.. "our MS programs are good and safe for u... while the little-known freeware apps are to
be marked and labeled as 'unsigned' or 'not verified to be safe'"
:D

what if naay pure-whitelist na OS ?
"allow installation only to apps considered 'GOOD' in 'OUR' list; for other unverified apps, please contact and pay us a fat fee"

A lot of apps (anti-vir, etc...) uses blacklisting and this is somewhat ineffective specially towards problems that you haven't encountered yet. Explicitly and selectively allowing methods, functions, applications will prevent exploitation.

        It's a framework na pwede makuha sa Internet. kses ang ngalan
        and you
        can get it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/kses
        <http://sourceforge.net/projects/kses>

        I think it's the one used by Wordpress. Amo lang dayon tong
        gi-wrap sa
        isa ka class para mubagay sa among API.

Yup! kses is the one used by wordpress. I prefer to use
    phpinputfilter, the one used by Joomla!. btw, phpinputfilter now
    has a PEAR package.
The difference with kses and phpinputfilter is in their filter
    implementation, whitelist allowed tags/characters and blacklist
    unwanted tags/characters respectively.
Best practices papers suggests that whitelisting should be the way
    to go in filtering user input - which is what we are doing when do
    a switch case statement. I prefer phpinputfilter as it is more
    popular, and to my knowledge being constantly updated (the PEAR
    package) and to my tests hasn't allowed me to inject
    unwanted characters into the database.
Basta kung sqlinjection istoryahan, /never trust user input/.
    Always validate and sanitize input. One just have to be
    disciplined enough to pass all user input to a good
    sanitizer/filter at every load of your script or at every receipt
    of input from client.
