That was the problem of the Sony Rootkit... It just helped bad people to hide bad things on computers, the rootkits actual operation was mostly harmless(IMHO not totally harmless).
The most important question to ask is... Is trusted computing transperent, so we can protect, detect and remove unwanted elements from it? Because what happens if somekind of malware infects something under the protection of a TPM. A simple coding error in some software part could introduce new attacks and it could get hard for security professionals protect against that.
