Hello,
thank you for sending samples. They are already detected in current VPS (101030-0). They are detected as PUP -- so you need to enable reporting PUP detections in avast! 5 settings.

So that should explain it  ;)


There should be changes to the VT scanner then, so that it will show when it detect something as PUP

from where did you download it ?
McAfee Siteadvisor TOOLBAR says the website is unsafe

I would not recommend McAfee SiteAdvisor TOOLBAR as it is un-reliable:

Well it isn't in mine, so it wasn't entered by default for me, though on my other system I actually entered it manually.

If you have/had firefox and depending on your firefox settings you would have multiple sessionstoreX.js files, which would be constantly updated and that would trigger an avast scan.

If you are no longer using firefox then this exclusion will have zero impact or overhead and won't hurt.

PUPs are detected by default in the File System Shield (FSS) and in the right click scan by ashQuick.exe.

It is only in the Quick and Full System scans where you can't select it, Sensitivity, PUP and suspicious files options are greyed out. If you want the avast on-demand scans to check for PUPS you would need to create a Custom scan and select the option.

Given the FSS covers this if they are run, I see little point in bothering with this on an on-demand scan as they are inert/dormant at the time of the on-demand scan. Should they become active, e.g. run then the FSS would first scan and presumably alert.

Sorry, you're wrong on that, Dave.
There's a button to turn PUP scanning on/off in the Quick & Full scan detailed view.
I have it enabled for both scans...

Yes, you are correct, I was looking deeper inside the Expert Settings.
