what if they arranged with some major websites that always get hits like google, etc. and the anti virus software makers to exclude their virus from the list of ones that are caught. couldnt they then use those popular sites to install the keylogger or surveillance virus onto your computer and you wouldnt ever know about it?
how credible do you think this is? any flaws?

seamus - yes i suppose it would be a bit unrealistic, or perhaps they just make a virus that no one else can detect? but youre right i think with all those companies there would be some whistle blowers by now, but how about a super effective trojan horse that no one could figure out, arent there ways of that being possible?

If you have good security set up on your system it won't happen. As a good security setup would tell you the moment anything attempts to install on your system and block it.
Since it takes more than just an anti-virus program to protect your system. It takes anti-virus, firewall, and a good spyware protection package.
With the amount of companies that would have to be included to make this work...the chances are just about zero. As you would have to include EVERY SINGLE manufacture of all the above security software.
