OK, I'm starting a pool - when are we going to see the first malware that
leverages this into the ability to send a "Pants Down!" command to the
Security Center?

(Note that this can be done transitively - you don't actually need to
figure out how to authenticate yourself as "security software" if you can
find an exploit in a popular anti-virus program so it will do the heavy
lifting for you....)
