So, if I’m running a business and for technical reasons I can’t upgrade to version 6, would that be your best answer? Can you explain me further why doesn’t avast! 4x detect known malware samples? Because, the way you answer, it simply sounds like you’re marketing versions 5/6. It’s just how it sounds.

AFAIK, VirusTotal antimalware apps versions are CLIs ?, so they just detect known malware, they won’t analyze behaviors, etc. So, why doesn’t version 4x detect known malware samples?

You see, DavidR and Polonus did try to assist me more. Something an avast! team member failed to do so. This makes you guys look bad.

Obviously, I do not run avast! (any version), because I have other measures, but if I was running a business and for technical reasons I just couldn’t upgrade, then your answer would make switch to other security vendor when possible, and simply because version 4x lacks certain detections and you didn’t make an effort explaining me why.

You see, I was just trying to understand why this discrepancy exists, but you failed explaining it.

Don’t take this as bad criticism, only a sign that avast! team should try and explain better why certain things happen. :wink:

(I think, I dont know exactly)This happen because avast! 4.x is soon to be expired and the virus database is different as avast! 5 & 6.

Well, that just sucks, doesn’t it?
