Many of the major anti-virus applications are negotiable on commercial applications. They are reluctant to classify the products of a "legitimate" commercial entity as malware. Particularly when both companies/corporations trade in the same country. The Sony rootkit debacle was one example of that. Several AVs knew about it and didn't classify it as malware until it got a lot of negative publicity.
I'm hoping negative publicity will do something similar with Phorm, NebuAd and the rest of the wannabes. It's the same companies that were found to be "stealth install" malware purveyors 2 or 3 years ago that are suddenly selling a new "commercially" acceptable "solution". I hate management-speak.
