Thanks very much.

Yes, this is something I have used before, when not using an avast! machine/or when in linux…

Hopefully it will be updated to the new site soon :slight_smile:

Why would anybody use that?
I use Virustotal if needed, it’s 41 scanners - including Avast.

Indeed, one example where I have used it:

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=55134.msg466976#msg466976

I used it in linux to show that a script posted on another forum would cause avast! to alert.

Granted it’s uses are limited, but it helps to have it there sometimes.
