Netsky.Q not detected with AVAST !

[mr_dus]

Hello,

I'm french so my english is bad... sorry

I've receive today a suspicious mail with attached file "dat.scr"...

AVAST don't detect any viruse in this mail...

I try many online antivirus and only kaspersky found a virus in this file : Netsky.Q

Yet, i've the latest pattern file (29/03/2004)...

I've put the file in the Chest...

Why Avast not found the virus ?  

Thanks you !

I'm pretty sure avast! can detect NetSky-Q because i just archived one yesterday and it was doublechecked with multiple antivirus programs including avast!.

Make sure your mail protection is set correctly (Mail protection Wizard) or check if Outlook/Exchange splash screen appears when you run Outlook (not Outlook Express).

[mr_dus]

yes all is OK because avast detecte correctly eicar_test and all the other netsky that i receive by mail....

Why Avast not found the virus ?  

Please send the file to virus@avast.com - it could be corrupted sample or maybe ome new variant? We need to take a look on it in order to decide  

Thanks for your cooperation!

I already send the files by avast Chest option this morning....

Must I re-send you with the adress virus@avast.com ??

Thanks

Well, it is the same sample which we received in the morning - it is really only the corrupted fragment of the virus. You might see it is 3024 bytes long only while Netsky-Q is about 28000 bytes long...

Do you have another sample?

regards,

Pavel

[mr_dus]

not, it is only

corrupted? : does that want to say that if it is carried out, I do not risk anything?


I'll see at home how many long has the file....

Thanks a lot

I have NetSky-Q archived if you need one
mr_dus are you on dial-up? This ussually corrupts files when transfering.

Not if avast! detects it  
I was interested in the "missed" sample!

Dial-up is a connection to Internet through a telephone modem, a temporary connection. Is an 'ancient' type of connection as now everybody uses a permanent connection (ADSL)   (just joking... dial-up is used by a significant number of Internet users yet...).
