Sony rootkit
Just a reminder that Fortium Technologies (then known as First 4 Internet) developed the technology behind Sony's wonderful rootkit.
And any analysis of false positives and false negatives is meaningless without two numbers, e.g. "90% true positives and 2% false positives".
I have personally developed a system that detects 100% of pornographic images. It simply marks all images as pornographic. The false positive rate is crap, though.
