What is a “WildList miss”?
We’re seeing WildList Misses in quite some of tests…
Really hope avast 7 can turn this tendency.
Those are ‘in the wild’ - zero day threats.
A virus/malware which is in the wild (on the net or elsewhere) and isn’t detected.
A rare failure, the last one was on December 2008 and that was for 1 False Positive.
Would be nice if it can be “turned” in 6.
What is a "WildList miss"?and for which no detection signatures have been developed.
If you look at the vendors that failed this latest test, most are signature based AVs.
At least you know to stay away for Webroot - 2700+ false positives!
Appears those vendors with “cloud” scanners of unknowns did better.
Notice that MSE passed? I really think it’s time to put to bed the jokes about its detection capabilities.
OK, I think I got it. ;D
Good. 
I would think that the heuristics would catch any “potential” infection.
avast UI>help center>web shield>expert settings>sensitivity.
I don’t think I’d feel too bad about the avast test. Norton also failed. ;D
The best antivirus programs in the world will only catch 70% of spyware, so, that means a miss is inevitable with very program out there. It is going to happen, sooner or later.
The reason we sell avast!; I have never had a virus spread through an avast! protected network in the 9 years I have sold and supported avast!. I cannot make that statement about any other product, though I am limited to McAfee, Symantec, Norton, AVG, and MSE. This is the primary goal of network protection, is too keep the network clean. The avast! network shield is superior, in my opinion.
The best protection in internet is: “brain.exe”

How many misses were there?
it was not a miss in traditional wildlist… there were few files missed in the extended wildlist, which must be now passed as well to achieve the certification… and the files were only missed during subsequential rounds of testing due to a maintenance of heuristics… such side effects are now monitored much better, thus i doubt this will happen again
+1 and brain.dll
I would like to laboratory producing antivirus updates are not 2 times a day, and as it is processed like other vendors … Kaspersky, DrWeb, etc.
If you send files to the labs sometimes takes several days until the sample will add, the response to the virus laboratory at best.
It’s just an ordinary user wishes.
Thanks Maxx, keep improving.
As i explained,earlier in my post we do need to improve on Behavior analysis that seems to be a big No No!to avast…Once that is taken care of we are on the top! ;D
The main bug is the Behavior shield works but on auto-decide function doesnt work…
And for normal users these things would be a question and query like it is for me:
On “ask” i dont want any pop ups…On “block” i dont know what it blocks legit or only suspicious behaviour BTW! but it should block suspicious behavour on auto-decide also
Good to know.
