Title: WOO HOO
Post by: sevenblu on June 19, 2004, 04:18:53 AM

Just Uninstalled Norton and Installed Avast, and Avast found 2 trojans that Norton missed!  

Thank You all for everything!

Grats, and this is all-to-common with lesser AV products, specifically ones with nearly zero packer support.  I think most trojan dorks out there use some sort of packer, and umm, Norton has like support for 4% of them.

Avast is lightyears ahead of Norton in those regards.. Now for some heuristics. (ahhah vlk, had to say it)
