They used to provide something in the early 90s (MSAV) which worked with Windows NT3.5 - it used to flag anything written in VB as a potential virus (it flagged any self-modifying code) so couln't have been that bad a product;-)

This is a long-established worldwide organisation which not only has uniforms but also indoctrinates its hapless victims (called cub scouts) in the laws of copyright when they try to get what is known as a "computer badge".
They are then forced to wear this badge on their sleeve as a sign of compliance with said laws...
Perhaps we need to get this issue into some perspective?
An older example is when (I think) AT&T promoted a free phone number 1-800-OPERATOR...
one of their competitors created 1-800-OPERATER and evidently picked up a vast proportion of the calls from the advert...
