Antivirus XP 2008, a known rogue anti spyware program, was digitally signed by Globalsign.
Alerted by The Register on Friday, GlobalSign revoked the certificate, pending an investigation.
They may have moved swiftly to remove the cert after being alerted, however the question still begs as to why GlobalSign gave Antivirus XP 2008 a certificate in the first place. Google is your friend.
Hat tip to Alex Eckelberry at The Sunbelt Blog who had emailed GlobalSign on or before Thursday, August 14th.
