Thank you for documenting it. It's always good to have actual evidence.
Now for the bigger question that's been bugging me since Sony's rootkit shenanigans- can we trust the security vendors to protect use from their corporate buddies? Remember, F-Prot sat on the information for 30 days while they "negotiated" with Sony. Hey, that's cool, negotiate with a malware distributor! Thanks F-Prot!
And don't forget it was Mark Russinovich who broke the story, not F-Prot, even though F-Prot congratulated themselves loudly for their boldness and fearless defense of truth and justice.

As far as I'm concerned they're all suspect.
