avast! it goes badly
« on: May 25, 2006, 12:20:05 AM »
I have sent for email malicious archives for virus@avast.com
with the purpose of that they are detected by avast!   

Because the malicosos archives that sending are not include
in the detention of avast! being they in fact malwares?
 ???

Henrique, they will be analised and, if they are really infected (malware) they will be included in the next virus databases updates.
The most dangerous, the most spread over Internet, the fast should be the update...

I'm not sure if this is what you've asked  ::)

It may be a while this has happened before and I wish Alwil would speed it up a little.


@Henrique - RJ

Try submitting the file to www.virustotal.com this will scan it with multiple scanners and send the file to the company so if this is a new unknown threat it will be found, and if this is a threat that is going around the antivirus programs that do not detect it will get it and hopefully add it to the detections.

What I can make?

justin1278,

All the archives had been submitted to the VirusTotal.
All are malicious...

Ok then you know for a fact it is malware, now all we need is for Alwil to add detections to avast.

But the Alwil ignores the malicious archives (avast! it does not detect).  It sees that the archives had been sent by email the Alwil and also distributed by the VirusTotal.   This makes much time…

What I can make?

I'm all for quick responses (why can't everyone be like Kaspersky in that regard?), but more important than that is to avoid the behavior that is causing you to encounter so much malware in the first place.  (Unless you're actively seeking it out, which I doubt.)

Almost all my malicious archives had been gotten from diverse research in fóruns with the end to test antivirus.
These archives had been tested in the VirusTotal and therefore distributeds for several antivirus (between them avast! ).
This proves that the Alwil is not examining the archives that are distributeds by the VirusTotal and that avast! he is being wronged in its detention of new virus.
Last sunday I tested an archive (linda2.scr) in the VirusTotal and less than six hours later Kaspersky started to detect it.   They see the examinations below.
Post in fórum to try here to communicate this fact á Alwil (I sent email for support@avast.com).





Archive the same tested today (avast! it continues not detecting as well as others antivirus).   I ask for to special attention á column “Update” (they see the dates of update). 
avast! it goes badly…

To RJ

If you feel anxious about file?

Maleware detect to file must mostly delete it.
You make yourself.
If it is file about program >> To uninstall & reinstall program now.
Maleware should clear because it not spread out to other file.
Mostly Antivirus program will protect maleware because some maleware very damage data with virus form internet .

But if it spread out is no maleware.

I sent again the archive today “linda2.scr” for virus@avast.com.   
Now I go to wait days to see if this malicious archive will be detected by avast!

Two months if had passed and linda2.scr continues not being detected for avast!

They see the email sent for Alwil (Vlk):




Well, we're periodically downloading them and processing them.
It may just take some time...
