I haven't mentioned it since February 14, 2006.

I have given up on this one. Speed is not Avast strongest part.  ;D

Suppose they can't fix it.  :'( :'( :'(

Doesn't look like that.  ;D

The 1000+ visitors to this thread must really wonder why an Antivirus-firm
keeps a viruswarning at the forum for several months.

It will be fixed early next week (that is tomorrow or day after tomorrow)

The last night's update was scheduled long time ahead and brought a detection of some 12,000 Trojans (but didn't fix any FP's).

That is also why it was larger than usual (217KB).


Thanks
Vlk


Anyway, not my problem. But reading the quote from Vlk 2 months ago is strange.

Sorry for misleading.

I tried once more and no warning.
When checking, my webshield was turned off!
(can't remember turning it off.)

Well, anyway, everything is as it should be  ;D, a testingplace
for webshield  ;)

Has anyone else experienced this?

I clicked on the link and, as expected, Web Shield put up a warning about the trojan.  But when I clicked Abort Connection the connection was not aborted.  It downloaded to my Temporary Internet Files folder and was then caught by the Standard shield.  Its now in quarantine.

Also, strangely, there is no log of either event even though the logging level is set to Notice.

btw, I did the same with eicar and the Web Shield did block that, though still no log.
