The engines are different, and I imagine that Gdata is built for 4.

Also, judging by igor's response:
Quote from: igor
As for why not ending the support for 4.8... well, all of the existing pre-2012 editions of g-data would stop working (or more precisely, updating), for example, right?
That suggests to me, that the newer versions may use the newer engine? (igor?)


Either way I can't see how this is down to avast, since it is Gdata that is using it, they are responsible for updating...
You choose to use Gdata, you have to accept what comes with it.

There are certainly questions that should be addressed to GData as to what avast engine they are using in what version of GData (god forbid that nsm0220 has to update his version of GData).

@ nsm0220
I also hope you have been whining on the bitdefender forums as even now they don't detect anything, either on the VT link you gave or on clicking the view more recent results.

You are wrong, but even if it were true - G-data has the new engine, so the rest (to use it or not) is up to them. So please stop the accusations.

Well, that might be partially right, even though the support should certainly be provided by the company who sold you the product, i.e. not by avast! - but the facts are wrong.

OK, so please contact g-data and ask them about it.
