Generally malware will detect a VM system and close down or just fail to run..  I am running XP within my win7 system

so... generally you say malware is "iffy" then right? ;)

Im just trying to see if there is something special about this one that could drop some extra temps that scanners couldnt detect.

UPDATE: Avast just updated definitions and was able to recognize the d2nt manager.exe file within the zip/rar and while extracting... That was fast team! I hope it was my email to Virus@avast.com and not the forum ;)

Maybe we could get some light shed as to why the scanner was able to delete the dropped trj but not the actual dropper (exe) before?

NOTE: they didnt even bother to reply to my email ;( i am gunna run boot scanner 1 more time with new def just in case its able to catch something new

As suggested before you still have the option of running OTS posting the logg and let Essexboy have a look inside

The problem with the droppers is that they vary by the day - or even hour.  It is when they unpack that Avast gets a handle on the main files
