That's not really what I meant. I mean in the cases where such 'super-malware' has been clearly identified and plucked apart by security researchers, could your average commercial AV kill it? I did some googling and found out for myself that apparently, they do:
Oh in the case where they're very publicly known they will, even if the US government wanted to suppress it, they do not have power over all AV companies. So it would be damaging to those companies.
And in any event, when we find out about nefarious state-sponsored software it's almost always super old.
