What about this threat with Avast ? In France, some people say Avast did a very bad job about this trojan.
You can see a history of the threat here http://forum.zebulon.fr/index.php?showtopic=123168 (fr) with bad comments about the lack of reaction of Avast team. It would be nice if I could get some information about it.
Sometimes we cry for a better detection rate... sometimes we cry for a better timetable reaction from the avast team...
Can you send the samples to virus@avast.com ?
You can zip and password the files... Inform a link to this thread and the password used.
You can send the files to Chest and, from there, resend to Alwil for analysis.
Thanks.
The best things in life are free.

Well, it seems it's solved reading this http://forum.zebulon.fr/index.php?showtopic=123168&st=45 but Avast does only recognize the zip file and do not clean the dll if the computer is infected.
I read in another subject that Avast will do some improvement the reactivity. It will be a nice thing because it looks like Avast was very late to react comparing to other antiviruses.
