Agreed. And that includes groups involved against the Gnutella network.

It is really ironic.
This doesn't surprise me about anti-virus companies either creating their own viruses or similar, in order to drum up business. I won't name the company but many, many years ago a Filipino friend of mine told me how scripty kids were being hired to create viruses.
In years since I've read of similar tricks and alarms sent by such companies in order to increase their business sales.
