@Tminus6453 I'd apply the Conspiracy Rule - if something requires lots of people to keep a secret, it's bound to leak. Think it would have happened by now. Still love cynicism though!

@Lhayezee Meh, no ones going to question the company who wants to help you get rid of your spam/malware

@Tminus6453 Well you do! (I meant more within the company. Not everyone is an amoral p.o.s.)

They don't even need to go that far. Just announce a piece of extremely dangerous malware has been discovered that can only be detected by their specially written anti-malware program.
