This is just a program that scans your executables looking for the
client/server programs used in last week's attacks.

It's a binary distribution, and source code is NOT available.  Because of this,
the FBI was heavily criticized, and many people refuse to have anything to do
with the program for fear the FBI may have embedded unknown additional
functionality within the binary that will grant the Cigarette Smoking Man
unlimited access to your machine.  ;-)
