Business Idea - non-malware whitelisting
There are several different products which will scan your computer for malware. Of course, if you produce a widely distributed application you want to not set any of them off. Currently everybody manually checks to see if they're setting off the latest updates to the malware detectors, and the different suppliers of such software have, ummm, widely diverse approaches to dealing with reports of false positives. This is all a huge pain in the ass, and a giant distraction for lots of application companies.
Somebody please set up a service to do such testing false positive reporting for companies which make applications. The world needs such a service badly.
