Could you please re-affirm Mischel Internet Security's policy about detection of "any and all"?
 
And - do you currently have detection capabilities for CIPAV?
 
Either signature-wise or heuristically? Thank you. Pete

Hi,
 
We will always detect trojans/malware, no matter what the source. This includes any trojans from government agencies.

Thank you. It amazes me that Cnet never bothered to poll A/T vendors. Pete

No, we don't detect it - but that's only because there is currently no sample available for it. As soon as we get our hands on one, we'll add detection for it (both signature-based and generic detection).

i have heard that many antimalware programs will not flag "commercial" "keyloggers".. i don't know if that is true, or not..
