Well because it's a anti-virus program. Users trust this kind of programs normally more. It's the fallacy of "oh they help us to be protected from bad guys so they can't be bad themselves" Through many (most?/nearly all?) anti-virus companies are untrustworthy in my opinion so it's not really surprising for me.
