I understand why the author obfuscated the anti-virus (hereafter: malware) vendor, but by doing that he makes the information less interesting. Now I won't know which vendor to perform tests on or avoid altogether when it's clear the malware's slimy tentacles are the cause of this issue. Malware violates principles including Least Astonishment--look at how long it took them to figure out it was malware--leading to the poor company spending thousands on consultants to help them diagnose the issue. In a just world, the malware company should get the bill.
