Actually both the .B and .C variants of Swen are covered by the 'Swen [Upx]' signature.

The strenght of Avast is certainly the frequency of its updates. It's faster and leaner than most expensive commercials. (I almost tried them all)...

Good job as always !  ;D

Well, we have already seen 4 variants for swen:
- the original (unpacked) one
- UPX-packed variant
- 2 hexedited UPX-packed variants (unimportant changes)

The last 3 ones are covered by the Swen [Upx] signature.

Edit: Argh, Vlk was faster, as usual :)
