Hi,

Did anyone notice how many signatures were in the last VPS?

Although there is a lot, they are mostly new variants of about 4-5 main viruses, sdbot, rbot, agent, banker, etc..

However, there doesn't seem to be much activity considering it was released a day ago.

Still i count dozen(s) of trojans/worms/malware not being added , yet i reported it weeks-months ago (some were more than just evil active) ...


so there is still LOT of work/things to improve on detection front ...

so far Kaspersky Labs is only capable handle solve any suspicious file within less than 1-7 days depends on type ...

Yes I agree but give Alwil time. I have yet to be infected by a real virus.

classic viruses are last to fear ,
main problem is that it takes way too long to add trojans / viruses and really agressive malware into avast database ...

no idea on what Alwil bases the danger factor but if i find it between friends, customers or partners and it's active
(ie spamming, downloading new trojans or so) then i think it's 100% dangerous ...

and in that case i fully understand firms why they tends to NOT buy Avast! products for server protect (they choose KAV or NOD instead) ...
and it's very hard to convice them to buy avast! for some workstations in the end ...

Also I noticed that there is some change in the naming method - I mean before there were a lots of signatures like "Win32:Trojano XXXX" and lately almost all of the signatures have "names", but ofcourse this is only my guess  ::)

And one more thing - time ago if I remember right Vlk said that they are working on new submition system, any info about that ::) Alwil?  ::)
