Windows 7 - AppLocker and Publisher rules

AppLocker and Publisher rules

Hi,

The idea behind AppLocker seems to be good. What I like the most is Publisher Based rules. However let's say I create a rule that says:

"Allow all files digitally signed by Microsoft"

What prevents someone from spoofing a signature? Can someone get a signing tool and sign their malware as if they were Microsoft? or how does Microsoft prevent the Publisher Rules feature from being a huge security hole?

Can someone please explain?

Regards,

Dave
