Avast lets Reveton through
« on: January 15, 2014, 11:57:35 AM »
Disappointed that Avastpro did not block the reveton virus (cheshire police virus) yesterday.

It only attacked (locked) one account. with limited user priviledges on XP and I have removed it now.

Combofix removed 'qci.pad'

Which is interesting since this is a desktop pc and I don't have any sort of 'pad'.
