This reminds me of early in the WMF-exploit when I asked a similar question without any response.
And behind the scenes avast was working and one of the first to pass all the known WMF exploits.
Yes, fine.
And I just asked a question: Is this happening now,too? Dead silence about that.
Avast have declared to speed up their detection, and I want to be safe.
Nothing more, nothing less. I trust in Avast and I want to continue with that....
Using another browser is just off-topic. 80-90 % use IE and I really don't think you mean that Avast should say:'Not for use with IE, use another browser'.
Avast declared that they would speed up the detection and I am just following up.
One of the guys who tried the POC declared that Norton Internet Security saved him.
Yes, we can blame MS, but I don't think MS is the topic in this forum.
Personally I am not concerned about this at this point.
I just want to be sure that my antivirusprovider is catching up(with all the new virusanalysts installed)
"we will have to see if the web shield will detect and intercept them" you said.
But I have always believed that Webshield uses the same sigs as the rest of Avast.
I am not an enemy, just aking what I think is a legitimate question.
Silence is golden is no always the best.
