ts weird that i need to go back to the Index page just to be able to view new posts in this thread. :)

I really need to get an SSD Drive, an 500 GB HDD Drive with 5200 Rounds is not that good.
Also a bit more Ram could be useful, i have 6 GB now.

The porn things are most likely the .exe files.

That's interesting so probably the malware could not do what it was supposed to do and got killed by avast when it tried to drop some files and so it must have become useless and just 2 got in.Nice to see filerep picked up the dropped binary of that facebook malware.

As I said we are getting better and better not at detecting but at protecting the user from what is lying inside a file and dont forget quick reaction times from backend technologies  :)

OK, here we go again.
If you test 20 samples, and 19 fail... you should be asking "is there anything wrong with my sample selection?". "Did I actually choose 19 samples of the same malware family?" etc.
There are hundreds of thousands of samples out there that the particular product doesn't detect, no matter what product it is... so unless you're pretty damn sure that your selection is random, well representing the overall situation (or not - sure, you can be interested in your local malware, in which case the sample set should represent that, of course) - then no, the result is meaningless, and the correct reaction is "so what".
