Viruses and worms

I found a video,shows avast preventing some zero-day malicious links

Made by MrXidus channel on youtube.

Link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2Afh5E3Rp0&feature=relmfu

Great results for Avast![19/20] Undetected Malicious URL reported.

Other than the version of avast used being outdated these youtube guy’s really dont have the knowledge and capabilities to properly test an av so they are really pointless, check out some reviews by well known testing companys like AV Comparitives, there are several other tests of avast if you use the search function.
This is also not the correct area where to post this info.

Another thing I have just realised about these videos (aside from my own prejudices…)

At almost just over a week old…it is already irrelevant…

it is not difficult to find 20 detected / undetected samples if you know where to look...

so as already said, these youtube test`s are pointless

Fully agree with Pondus here. Who does the maker of the video like to convince and what is his statement?
What does it bring? A random moment in time with some random results? Not much to go on from. Pointless vid, really,
