Intel's been in AV for quite a while.  For many years they sold a version of Trend 
with a LAN management wrapper.

On first reading, I'd agree.  Sounds an awful lot like WD's Immunizer, in many 
respects.

(I did a report for Intel at one time, and noted that, while many of their lower 
level [that is, actually working] people had some clues, senior management were 
extremely effective at sabotaging the products, and making political decisions that 
ensured they remained second rate.)
