Media files it would be difficult, but EME-CDM could be expanded in the future to control access to PDFs or directly to web pages that could host a script to monitor and send data to an external server over SSL and from inside the EME sandbox so the virus scanner wouldn't be able to detect it and notify it to the user, while currently virus scanner can be able to detect unusual connections inside web pages...
