Henrique, they will be analised and, if they are really infected (malware) they will be included in the next virus databases updates.
The most dangerous, the most spread over Internet, the fast should be the update…
I’m not sure if this is what you’ve asked :
Welcome to avast forums 8)
But I sent the malicious archives (4 or 5) in April (he makes one month)… ??? ???
You’re right…
Please, avast team… shame
It may be a while this has happened before and I wish Alwil would speed it up a little.

Try submitting the file to www.virustotal.com this will scan it with multiple scanners and send the file to the company so if this is a new unknown threat it will be found, and if this is a threat that is going around the antivirus programs that do not detect it will get it and hopefully add it to the detections.
What I can make?
justin1278,
All the archives had been submitted to the VirusTotal.
All are malicious…
Ok then you know for a fact it is malware, now all we need is for Alwil to add detections to avast.
But the Alwil ignores the malicious archives (avast! it does not detect). It sees that the archives had been sent by email the Alwil and also distributed by the VirusTotal. This makes much time…
What I can make?
I’m all for quick responses (why can’t everyone be like Kaspersky in that regard?), but more important than that is to avoid the behavior that is causing you to encounter so much malware in the first place. (Unless you’re actively seeking it out, which I doubt.)
Almost all my malicious archives had been gotten from diverse research in fóruns with the end to test antivirus.
These archives had been tested in the VirusTotal and therefore distributeds for several antivirus (between them avast! ).
This proves that the Alwil is not examining the archives that are distributeds by the VirusTotal and that avast! he is being wronged in its detention of new virus.
Last sunday I tested an archive (linda2.scr) in the VirusTotal and less than six hours later Kaspersky started to detect it. They see the examinations below.
Post in fórum to try here to communicate this fact á Alwil (I sent email for support@avast.com).

Archive the same tested today (avast! it continues not detecting as well as others antivirus). I ask for to special attention á column “Update” (they see the dates of update).
avast! it goes badly…
To RJ
If you feel anxious about file?
Maleware detect to file must mostly delete it.
You make yourself.
If it is file about program >> To uninstall & reinstall program now.
Maleware should clear because it not spread out to other file.
Mostly Antivirus program will protect maleware because some maleware very damage data with virus form internet .
But if it spread out is no maleware.
I sent again the archive today “linda2.scr” for virus@avast.com.
Now I go to wait days to see if this malicious archive will be detected by avast!
You help for Avast and other users.
I and you waiting for it and update database.
Yes, my objective is to improve avast!

Thank you for your reply.
But because files malicious (they are more than 10 that I have)
that I test in the VirusTotal are not examined by the Alwil if
avast! it continues not detecting them?Henrique Felgueiras Rio de Janeiro -

Assunto: RE: VirusTotalHi Henrique,
all I can say about this is that we’re getting samples from
many sources, and VirusTotal is one of them.So it’s not true that we’re not examining files from VT.
Thanks,

Simply amazing
This thread was started on 5-24 - almost 2 month ago.
It’s alread been read over 700 times.
It’s been spread all over the internet
and still not one single reply from Alwil ???
SHAME
I know what you mean, I’ve had three instances with a file I’ve received by e-mail over the last three weeks.
Avast finds nothing wrong with the attachment, ewido finds Email-Worm.Win32.Jubon.a, so does jotti. I’ve sent it from the chest, I’ve also sent it by e-mail to virus@avast.com.
It still isn’t being detected.
Finally !!!
File linda2.scr today was detected by avast!
Last week I tested in the VirusTotal all files malicious ( also linda2.scr ) of the quarentine of avast! e that until then was not detected.
Still they lack to be detected by avast! others files as for example: abrir_fotos.scr, battlefield.exe, fotos.scr …
They see the image below:
Geeeeeeee look like Awil gonna need a bigger virus research laboratory and a bigger anti-virus swats staff team to speed up quick.
I hope their not on holidays. or left the company without further help or a replacement team. ???
