Recently, I had my computer keylogged from a program that "checked out" with Virus total and my own virus scan.
Story, I was asked to "verify" a program as the middleman of the trade. I scanned it with Virus Total, it came up with ONLY 1 positive reading, which was only "suspicious". I clicked on the program, nothing happenned, so I told both parties that the program did not work.
I later realized that it was all just a ploy. The program was a trojan, which they were busy using to download (more detectable) programs, and even circumvented the firewall I had set. I only realized that I had been hacked AFTER my virus software's auto protect was enacted.
Luckily, my account had a bank pin, and no real important info was taken I promptly pulled the power, disconnected my internet, and reformatted.
That said, Virus Total will detect 99% of malicious software, but the hacker claimed that he had designed the program to circumvent this detection.
Just some food for thought.
