Below is a scary excerpt from that article:

"And no wonder some adware firms are pushing anti-spyware vendors to
"de-list" them from their detection and deletion scanners.
The most recent such move was by Computer Associates, which sells the
PestPatrol anti-spyware line after acquiring the company in 2004. Last week,
CA removed all Claria products -- including Gator/GAIN -- from its database
under its Vendor Appeal program.

CA has been criticized in the past for de-listing software other
anti-spyware vendors continue to list as malicious, and even Microsoft has
backed down in at least one instance."
