Avast's challenge

[AndyFul]

Hi,

Here is a video test from the MalwaeTips forum about tampering with Avast's drivers and protected services:

New video, where Avast is tampered with but not crushed:

Hi AndyFul,

The video is not clear on what actions are being taken, we would need some more information e.g. the script that's executed, for us to pass it to engineering.

That being said, there also seems to be a discrepancy in the timing e.g. between reboots, the system time is not consistent.

Thank you

I decided to submit details only to the AV vendors. I already did it for Kaspersky, Microsoft, Check Point, and Emsisoft.
Anyway, one of MT members already contacted Avast (without submitting details):

It seems that Avast staff knows the attack method, because no one contacted me. If necessary the Avast staff can contact me via my email (known to Administrators of this forum).
I posted here two videos. The second video was made several hours later.

I am from the Avast team - we will contact you directly

Wondering if this issue has it's underlying reason in a security flaw of the operating system...
