That's true - but then again they are shipping something that is detecting a
non-existent virus which is a serious bug in their product that no doubt
results in significant waste of business resources :-) 

Id expect members of the press to slam the product for this very reason.
Also, there's nothing stopping us from cooperatively reporting this sort of
thing on social networking sites like DIGG and keep digging them until their
products are fixed.

In fact - here is something I would be willing to do.

Everyone report here an anti-virus product that has flagged their RB app
with a false positive. I will create a press release from United REALbasic
Developers announcing our findings with the faults of anti-virus products X,
Y, Z. Anyone who would like to help with this, feel free to volunteer - and
Id like to get quotes as well.

Then I will send such PR to a selected number of AV companies. Without a
response back, and within a set amount of time, it will then be sent to my
list of 800 press contacts.

Then...we can all DIGG it and post it to various social networking groups.

Who would like to dogpile on this?
