SYMC Patents Heuristic AV?

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.
