Why might antivirus and antispyware software not detect malicious software?

Antivirus and antispyware software might not detect malware because the virus database signature has not been updated. Malware is released constantly and it takes time to analyze it and add its signature to the database of an antivirus.There can be a lot of reasons why. Your software (definition files) might not be up to date. Also, its possible that the company your using does not have the malicious software in their "banned" list yet. I don't know what provider you use for your protection, but typically with virus and antispyware software you get what you pay for generally speaking.
