Symantec patents scanning for malware?

Reading the patent, wouldn’t “grep” constitute “prior art”? (just kidding) In all seriousness, though, I’m wondering if anybody else implementing “heuristic scanning” is a bit nervous by this patent; the methodology seems pretty specific to me, but I’m not a lawyer so maybe it’s more general than it appears to a humble technologist like myself.
