All good points true indian, but that doesn't happen in the real world, now does it? One buys an enterprise level AV and expects it to protect their computer from viruses.
I can am reasonably sure that other AV products, through heuristics, or other behavioral analysis would stop, detect, remove this threat as soon as it was encountered in email or on a web page or in a download, the source of infection is still unknown.
Corporate users that have used Outlook for years, will likely not transition well to the web based format, and that may or may not help protect them if the AV on their computer doesn't protect them.
This lack of detection/removal in AVAST will force me to discontinue my sales and support of AVAST.
Took a big one in the ASS, not likely to let it happen again....
FYI, malwarebytes pro didnt see this one either, not to mention that once its on the computer, and you try to run any executable, not in the Windows folder, it will be infected as well....
IMHO< norton products have degenerated to money pits for the user, and cash cows for symantec.
Just ranting mind you...
well! u must know that no AV is 100%..how many times should we repeat
recommend your customers to use Malwarebytes PRO with avast! free and norton DNS...
That will be the only one time when they wont get again infected...
Tell them to use web mail such as gmail,hotmail etc as they have excellent spam filters...
any AV u give them alone to run they are ought to get infected again...tell them about how to excercise self caution with opening mail attachments
