Basically it states the various antivirus companies cannot leave a backdoor open, because it would be abused. Any company in fact leaving the backdoor open would probably lose the most of it's market share. Also larger companies would need fear abuse of this backdoor by nations as China, they would need to protect their company secrets.

I'm going to keep an eye on open ports and "listening" services for a while. And block anything I find unneeded... Anyone who wishes his/her computer checked for the such, I can do a portscan with much ease. Just drop me a mail/PM...
