That's true. ;-)

But when they and a few others started saying "we'll leave the door open for the FBI" I started worrying that either some of the better vendors would follow suit. Luckily they've backed off of it.

As an aside, why should an anti-virus program which is sold overseas leave a hole open for the FBI? And if they make an "international" version without the hole, would it be illegal to run the international version on your PC in the US? What if foreign governments decided to use their own trojans similar to the FBI? Would the companies then have to open holes for those trojans when their product was installed in those countries? Just some of the sticky questions that come up when you start deciding which trojans are "good" and should be allowed through.
