Chocholo, does avast detect this nasty?

So is anyone EVER going to fix this?  I have emailed samples, and still have not even got a reply!  I am not impressed so far with Avast.  The first real Virus outbreak that I have at the house and I just recommended work buy their product, and now I got no responce for better than a week!  Not a great way to create business!

I have been running it for a couple of months so far and have only seen some malware / spyware that showed up.  Occassionally it bugs me about emails with not subject, or the like.  When I have what I know is a nasty, I expect someone to care!  When I take the time to email it, I at least expect a reply!  I have been waiting for two weeks now for some repsonce to a post or a mention of what to do now!  NOTHING!

I am not impressed!

Michael.

avast! have been saying they're going to improve the speed of addition of submitted samples for a long time, but the process remains slow. Still we keep giving them the benefit of the doubt.
