Too bad Vista didn't have a 100 but I'm proud of the Alwil Team! Just wait till 5.0 is released! ;)

I agree with Tech. Time to bring (Avast) antivirus for Vista up to Alwil standard.

There should theoretically be no difference as they are essentially the same avast may use a different driver or other elements but I doubt that would be the cause of the failure. These tests are very strict and one missed sample or one false positive and you don't get the VB100 award.

In that case it was 1 FP, see image and that would obviously now have been corrected. So the reason was nothing to do with it being Vista64 and not XP but an FP.

What is strange for me is that it is a Vista false positive and not the others? Or the tests are conducted in different times (which seems more obvious then...)?

Why, because they are months apart (you can see that in Minacross's image) and it has nothing to do with Vista or XP but the signatures at that point in time.

I see what you mean DavidR. I dont usually follow these things through myself. Thanks for clarifying issue further. And I think good for Tech for putting the obvious question. Always wish for avast to be optimum choice.
