Avast Emergency Updates

I didn't get a definitive answer back then, and I don't see any more clarity now...  Is Vlk with Avast?  One other member mentioned that he thought Vlk is the CTO, but there's no solid indication ("Global Moderator, Serious Graphoman" doesn't say much to me).  Are only Avast team members moderators?

Administrators, Global Moderators and avast! team are all part of the avast! team.

And as far as I know, Vlk is still with avast!.

He was last on the forum on 27th December.

Lord.....

I first worked with Ondrej (aka vlk) during the Win Vista beta, working to get Avast running under Vista. He has been CTO for a long time, and remains so, to the best of my knowledge (and according to the web site). He definitely knows his stuff, so I have a very strong tendency to trust what he says.

Is this enough of a "solid indication"? (Oh, and jwoods link to the management team does show him as CTO of you need more :-))

Thanks for setting me straight, folks.

It would probably be better if the Avast! employees would have show solid indication about who they are when they post here.  With security software, especially, statements of those actually in-the-know vs. other folks' observations can be quite important.
