There are always a lot of discussions how Skype calls can be wiretapped. I read about a security company which claimed that they have a product ready which allows to install a Trojan horse through the Internet to any specific PC in a way that no firewall or virus protection SW is able to prevent to. Then this Trojan horse is able to file every calls and send it to a bureau of investigation. Well if the Trojan horse is installed almost everything is possible but is it nowadays really possible to install such a piece of SW to any arbitray PC without being blocked by any firewall or deteced by any antivirus SW?
