Well, it was on my mind recently. Would a PGP-attacking virus would get flagged
by McAfee? On which side are they on? Do they have a history of collaborating
with the goons? And beside, having a large recognized company buy PGP only to
let it die afterward, or to stir FUD so much that PGP falls into distrust with
the public is a *really neat* way of making it go away without raising informed-
public outrage at the spooks...
As a side question:
Did anybody check if the actual PGP binaries distribution is identical to what
you obtain upon compilation of the published source?
