By the way, the subject line is misleading.  SunnComm doesn't sue
because of the "shift key" description (the company isn't *that*
stupid), but because of the removal instructions for the Trojan Horse.
These instructions could be indeed illegal to publish in the United
States and other countries because they are specifically designed to
circumvent an effective measure for restricting copies.
as would use of a recovery disk set (supplied with most pcs) as it would
almost as a side effect remove any trojans :)
