It appears that there are several law firms in volved just by gandering at the end of the document. But it says in the document that the drivers allow RING0 access to viruses and trojans which is a real no-no.
I think above the rest of what we said before about this, the starforce thing, giving viruses and trojans this free reign is down right neglectful
