it s not difficult to find 7 samples not detected.....

I think the 60day stats reflect a better current term rate, as it is also using the current avast version and functions/features. http://www.shadowserver.org/wiki/pmwiki.php/AV/Virus60-DayStats

yes, they are slow at detecting new malware...
but they have one area where they are best.....close to zero false positives

[true indian]

Avast! has pretty good speed in detecting new stuff...when VT results are around 10 to 15 then avast is normally one of the 18th or 16th scanner to detect it next...which is hardly 35% of scanners detecting it at vt..thats good according to me

I test avast! regularly and it does great job on protection 

I can show you more such results that are not detected by XYZ antivirus.

Btw,most of the results you showed are already being detected by avast now 

and this sample you showed is corrupt:

and more ever we dont know from which URL's those files came from...A lot of the infections get knocked out by avast network and web shield...example this one isnt detected:

but the URL from where it comes is being blocked by avast network shield!!!!
