I don't how much time the AVAST guys take to add malwarrs to their definition. Submitted few samples a month ago. And it was confirmed that they were malicious but still no detection. The samples are detected by most antivirus including AVG. It will be helpful for everyone if AVAST can incorporate AVG Virus database. Also AVG sample submit portal do not work properly. For some files it returns an error message. AVAST should also have a similar portal where users can submit samples or URLs for analysis.

This should be in the viruses and worms sub-forum, where it can be discussed. e.g. how it was submitted, what the detection was (any VirusTotal scan link), its file name, etc. etc. With no detailed information, there is no way anyone can really comment.

Hi
I live in Iran
We can use avast here and it updates well
But we can't use Avg because of boycott :(
What's the matter?
Please make it possible
Is not avg a part of avast?
Still no answer ::)

I have no idea why you even able to get avast as it too is bound by the embargo on Iran.
