McAfee really DOES write new Malware! Wholey Moley!

[<Blanchard_Michael () emc com>]

How can any antivirus vendor condone such activity, let alone teach a course in it????  What has the world come to?  
Don't they remember the whole outcry against the University of Calgary when they wanted to teach a course that involved 
creation of new viruses?

You've often heard that the Internet is a dangerous place and you've probably read about threats such as botnets, 
keystroke loggers and drive-by installations of malware through rigged Web sites. But what is malware really? How do 
cybercriminals launch their malicious attacks? McAfee is offering you the chance to find out with the unique and 
exclusive McAfee Malware Experience. 

Join experts from McAfee Avert Labs and have a chance to create a Trojan horse, commandeer a botnet, install a rootkit 
and experience first hand how easy it is to modify websites to serve up malware. Of course this will all be done in the 
safe and closed environment, ensuring that what you create doesn't actually go out onto the Internet. To sign up,....
