Or use TrueCrypt. It's free, open source, and lacks any such backdoor.I'm not affiliated with TC, just a happy user.

I don’t think this is a black eye at all for PGP. My guess is that this “feature” can only be turned on by a user when PGP whole disk encryption is installed in stand-alone mode. When deployed in administered mode…meaning that the enterprise has also purchased & installed PGP’s Universal Server product. The Universal Server product integrated with Active Directory and uses GPOs to control the build, features, etc of the PGP client side software. Have you checked on or validated this?
