[QUOTE]Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, disagrees. He says it it wrong to deliberately refrain from detecting the virus, because its customers outside the US would expect protection against the Trojan. Such a move also creates an awkward precedent.

 

I would be a bit upset to find that the FBI were able to do that to me!!!! I guess if you are in America and it is legal for them to do it then you can't complain too much, but if you are overseas they should have no right to do that....

 

That's an interesting dilemna. I just saw a story on the news about a virus that does the same thing. It records keystrokes and allows the person that infected you to retrieve your keystrokes and gives them a backdoor into your system.
