Avast unable to detect some viruses
« on: November 24, 2012, 09:59:26 PM »
Here are 2 viruses that Avast is unable to detect them.
I have submit them in avast's virus lab but it seems that nobody checks the submited files.
Does it have any other way to get Avast's experts attention inorder to add these 2 viruses in Avast's database.

first one looks like FP.......is it a installer file from CNET ?

the second is called riskware by some.....so i guess it will be a PUP detection

how did you send it to avast?

The first one I took from AVIRA's quarantine.
The second one I found in my computer.
I don't think is a CNET file.
You can analyse them if u want
