Just waiting for the day when cops can execute a "search and seizure" of your home PC if it's identified as having a malware infection.

Yes, that would be great. And even better, the same law would almost certainly also allow search, seizure & arrest if your computer is detected as connecting to an ISIS website. Or a communist website. Or an anti-Christian website. Etc.

Wouldn't that make the World a far better place?
