Your antivirus may not know about the problem. It can guess problems through scanning - and this can catch some, but if you were to design some virus you would make sure at least when you first released it that scanners had no idea what it was.

As the scanners communicated information they could start to guess what it was- but then again you could have written it to change. (Antivirus's usually have a group of people as well that try to find and log them)
