avast was tested in vm

avast! doesn't need any testing. It's being used by millions of people daily.
I'm just one of them. :)

btw avast fail on a Ransom trojan when the behavior blocker is on auto-decide (default)

For the majority of users, Ask is too intrusive and worse still they may not be able to make the decision on what to do. Now this could also let things through the door that may otherwise have been locked out.
It is difficult to strike a balance between too strict and not strict enough if set to Auto. Or if set to Ask as the default setting without being too intrusive for the user. Either of these conditions could result in either an FP or something being let in, it isn't easy.
There are many that would like to see the Behavior Shield beefed up on its rule set to catch more, even if it meant an increase in FPs (which could be corrected). The idea for this is that when set to Auto by default the user doesn't have to make the decision, but the protection is more robust, even if it could increase FPs.
However, there aren't many that are lobbying for the Behavior Shield to be set to Ask by default, it really would be too intrusive (I feel). The major point is that the settings are highly configurable for the individual user.

however the behavior blocker when on auto-decide it has no rules that means a normal person thats using avast if they download a rootkit and the sandbox and Signatures does not finds it the pc can be rootkited
-
so my opinion on avast. im have to say it fail. i mean it did a good job at stopping normal malware. but at nasty malware it fails.so avast improve your behavior blocker and set it on ask if you what to stop nasty malware

Of course it has rules (I have seen behavior shield alerts and in the forums), it is that they aren't overly aggressive.

where are the rules of the behavior blocker because i don't see it
-
Dont mind me commenting on this ;)
By myself avast is awesome!
I agree they are heavily dependent on defination databases
but though they do a excellent job on 0-day and day to day stuff...
Agree the Behaviour shield needs some improvements...but we also have heuristics and code emulator :) :)

You don't see the virus signatures either but they are there.
They are embedded (probably within the VPS also) and are based around the three settings in the Behavior Shield, Expert Settings, Main Settings.

@ Donovansrb10,
Don't you know you can't argue with some one who states the following:
"im a malware killer"
It's useless, he knows it all, even has more knowledge than essexboy.
Let the Mods take care of him. Maybe he'll listen to on of them. :)

After ten days away on holiday i return to excellent news ;D plus the new forum and the beta release, it's amazing what a break will do :)

agreed... avast behaviour blocker honestly isn't really that good on auto decide as far as i see... i open avast up when its on auto decide i see it analyzing suspicious events but no alert somehow :/ i hope avast will really improve on the behaviour shield though :/ auto-decide i prefer as ask pops me up with things that i do not know how to answer.... like when i download malware and run em in the vm... it pops up saying trying to modify protected resource... and i was like... what to answer???? i mean like come on... i was given that alert when i try to install whitelisted safe programs :/

Boot in Safe Mode (http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml) and run it from there pointing to version 6.

You have a point there. However, I have read nsm's older posts a couple months ago and he caused a few problems on the PCAV forum.
