Oh pardon the caps.  I had hit the cap lock by mistake and was not going to type over again and no I haven't. The article I read on it mentioned Kaspersky, McAfee and couple of others but did not mention Avast that had installed protection against.  This was the platform originally developed in 2007 and modified and what was used in cyber attack against Iran's nuc program and other things. So I was just asking a simple question.  If they have then cool. 8)
