"At least one antivirus software company, McAfee Corp., contacted the
FBI on
Wednesday to ensure its software wouldn't inadvertently detect the
bureau's
snooping software and alert a criminal suspect."

Wonder how long it will take a virus writer to spoof the
golden signature? I especially like the plot where a good
rev engr gets a sample of the FBI's trojan and modifies/deploys
it for his own purposes...
