Post this sample to avast! lab

Why isn’t Virus Total using Avast V6

Why should? Avast 5 & 6 using same virus database…

that’s a good question, it’s been like that for a while ::slight_smile: … yeah obviously ;D (they didn’t bother to upgrade after V6 got released)

danny96
Why don’t you use V5

Why I should?
Avast! 6 contains Script shield, autosandbox and other cool features…

yeah on a side note, script shield has been there for ages and ages (already in V4) ;D …

I thought v6.0.xxx has an improved script shield.

improved yeah probably, according to Avast, but the shield is just not new.

ps: I don’t use the script shield (not installed here).

Why not? What’s the problem?

no problem ;D it’s just useless ::slight_smile:

Useless? ???
