Or Symantec, or Trend, or McAfee, etc- such short memories we have. Remember how none of them- not ONE- detected the infamous Sony rootkit? Remember how F-Prot found it, but kept it secret for a month while they had "talks" with Sony? Even then they were not going to disclose it, except Mark Russinovich broke the story.
The lesson is the big commercial "security" companies cannot be trusted. They make backdoor deals with their corporate buddies, and it's only going to get worse with "Trusted Computing" and DRM.
