Avast fails VB wildlist-test
« on: April 04, 2008, 05:35:55 PM »
Hi,

I'm a fairly new user of Avast and after some good results, I saw the Wildlist test today from VirusBulletin.
http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archive/2008/04.xml?

Avast misses 19 samples ! Way more than some other failling products.
How could this be? Avast even 'advertises' the wildlist on their website.

Grtz,

Yes, it was actually "just" (shouldn't happen anyway, of course) one virus - in 19 samples.
