Agreed. This sounds like a debate that could be settled by testing different antivirus products (and their old versions) against state-sponsored malware.

- privong 13y agoI'm not sure that's a good test; any publicly known example of state-sponsored is almost certainly in current antivirus software. Since they're publicly known, there's no advantage to continuing to be sneaky about it — it would certainly tip people off that the companies were under the thumb of a government. And testing older version probably won't help, because you can't prove that the company knew about them before the rest of us did.
