In a secure webserver, well defined with zones running ZFS, an isolated zone is created for potentially harmful data of virus infected files, worms, malicious scripts and trojans. The technical opinion is that the harmful data in that hardware zone does not spill over and harm the clean data in the rest of the hard disk. So much is possibly right.
But what happens during the process of passing on the data to that isolated compartment ? The harmful data and scripts pass though the computer's and the lan data cables, may be buffered in the RAM before being copied to that isolated zone. For instance, If this malicious data contains a root kit, it could infect the motherboard and there are similar dangers of spill over in the RAM ??? What are the hardware components that any data passes through, in a scenario where a mail folder named "messages with visible and invisible or unknown and executable attachments" is downloaded from the internet for storage on to the isolated zone ????
