Now there’s an oxymoron. Let me know when they can write a virus scanner that works.

So do you think this research is invalid, or are you just being snarky for the sake of it?

Hard to say for sure. They may have legitimately found something, but my experience with McAfee products has been abysmal. The last time I dealt with it, someone had the full paid version of their virus scanner which was up to date but wasn’t finding anything. I ran the free version of AVG and found over 200 items (mostly trojans and other malware). Their research may be valid, but I certainly wouldn’t trust any of their software to find even widely-known issues.
