Malware embedded in the Windows registry

Don from the Security Ripcord blog posted about an experience he had with Symantec and Microsoft. He had found malware hidden in the windows registry of one of his clients, and the vendors would not believe it and actually stated that what he says is 'not possible'. A nice writeup from Sophos, however, indicates it IS in fact possible to hide malware in the registry!

Reminds me of my attempt to try convince HP that 3 printers at one of our customer's premises connected to malicious domains. Also 'not possible' ;)
