    Spotted that post.  Read it.  Now why this appears to be the RIGHT way for the vendor do to this inspection process, it still makes me shudder.  As is pointed out in the post, all it takes for a vulnerability to be introduced into the implementation or some other extension or add in that is nefarious to slither in and get this information and there’s your encrypted info out the door.

    While antivirus can be great as Symantec showcased lately it can also be our worst enemy.
