I like avast and think that is a good antivirus, but it have strong problems with detection of Brazilian viruses!
To solve this, and help users and AV vendors, all new viruses that i see, i send to AV vendors. Kaspersky, fortinet, etc, replyed my e-mails and added detection. Grisoft AVG don't reply my e-mails, but add detection too.
Symantec and avast! don't detect nothing of the virus that i collect, but, symantec add to database when i send, and avast no.
My question: Why the virus@avast.com don't reply my e-mails and don't add to database the viruses that i send? They have problems, much e-mails, and are slow or the problem is just with brazilian specific viruses and my e-mails?
I want to solve this, because avast! have much users in Brazil, and my friends using avast get orkut viruses and avast don't found virus! avast! is considered one of the best antivirus by the popular opinion here, but, with the poor detection of bankers and orkut/msn viruses, avast rating are decreasing.
The problem isn't new: I had posted a similar topic in 2005, but, nothing changed!
