PandaSoftware's online scan always reports some of my password cracking, 
message finding, chat log examining, stegonography creating, alien 
registry viewers, index.dat viewers and other assorted forensic type 
tools as malware.  Since one or two of the tools I have seen Panda react 
to were actually written by me, I suspect it isn't at all unusual for 
hacking and password cracking utilities to be detected as malware if 
their coding matches certain parameters. I fully concur the presence of 
one or two such programs could and should justifiably cause panic if the 
system owner didn't know they existed.
