If only the VT comments column was sent, that doesn't help as you need a sample to analyse, comments are of no use.

Hi DavidR,

Why true indian's comment? Makes no sense. Normally avast gets these hashes anyway, see: http://ore.carnivore.it/malware/engine/virustotal 
As I hope the avast virus analysts will get all the malware there automatically from Engines like VirusTotal, Anubis, CWSandbox to check on. But will they?
Apparently no one there has seen this one yet: http://ore.carnivore.it/malware/hash/b58c7ea56b3343419e7852176fe7ee4d (Avast does not detect),
so we still have to do lots of work for them,

Well it is hard to read true indian's post, but my interpretation of it is I'm not sure if only the VT comments column information was sent to avast or the file and the comments or what was sent.

Yes they get samples, but A) not in a timely fashion and B) they (avast labs member) reported that there is so much junk in there that it isn't that helpful. Which is why I feel it best not to rely on VT sending any sample and send it directly yourself.

L.S.

For the first VT file results given in the row in the previous posting. This info could also be interesting for users to know. Ssome more info about the general threat since November 16th last from Cisco's: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/viewThreatOutbreakAlert.x?alertId=24212 link info provided by Cisco Threat Outbreak Alert by Cisco threat analysists, so a general mail threat!
