Avast does great job while fakeAV's target game sites.

I am not good with introductions so I will just go ahead and say it… ;D

Many people in facebook and some other sites are praising avast because it saved them from a FakeAV on game sites,and its not just them I myself checked some of the client machine where avast was there and there were logs of avast blocking URL’s or detecting fakeAV executables with evo-gen,This is great!

Fortunately,I hit a client with dyna detection,which had downloaded the fakeAV and executed but guess what…to my suprise avast somehow out it in the sandbox and detected it as malware :o

Thanks for protecting us ;D

I agree…they are already targeting famous and well known game sites where tons of people go and you cant imagine what the bad guys will do next
