Ex-Employees Accuse Kaspersky of creating false positives in their database so competitors flag harmless files

In what can easily be described as "Byzantine", Engadget reports on Reuters story that:  

Reuters reports that a pair of former employees have accused Moscow-based Kaspersky Labs of building malware to trick its competition into flagging and quarantining important, non-viral, files on customers' computers. Basically the malware would inject malicious bits of code into important PC files -- like, say, your printer's .ini files -- which would then be flagged as a false positive and quarantined or deleted.

 Awesome!  People that say anti-virus companies write viruses are being way too one-dimensional
