As you can see, even Maslan-C is detected ;)

You could also have had a look at the virus list:
start Avast > Menu > Virus List

Maslan(-A) was added to the vps on 6 December 2004, even 1 day before it was discovered according to Symantec

Edit : Have a look at what Sophos says about it. Note especially the part that says " Included in our products from"

Best check VPS History

VPS 0451-2, 17.12.2004
Win32:Maslan-C [Wrm],

avast! VPS Updates History

Today's release detects, later Maslan-c, along with a great number of other updates.

Edit: Rats, Eddy, beat me to it again  ;D

Yeah, I didn't go looking any deeper for maslan-a when I found that maslan-c was already in the VPS.
