My Avast version 5 did not detect a Trojan.Zlob infected file from my portable drive when I scanned it but Symantec did and removed it. After that, I did a full system scan of all my hard disks including my portable drive using Avast 5 and it found none. Is it possible that Trojan.Zlob is still in my system and my Avast 5 cannot detect it anymore?
The infected file was found in F:\System Restore Information\ folder of my portable drive. Today I checked the full path but I can’t find it anymore. The folder show as a hidden file from another computer (from where I scanned using Symantec) but in my netbook I can’t find it.
Welcome to the forum, would you like to submit the infected file sample to avast, first make it into .zip (or else) compressed file and send via email to virus@avast.com
And Cahya is right, you need to upload to virustotal and would be good if you could send file to avast so that they are notified. You may have a new mutant of what is relatively well-known strain of virus.
I’m sorry if this is out of topic, but while you mention about zip the file and password protect, I wonder it is “a must” to give a password to the file?
do you have an E-mail account with SSL like yahoo / Gmail…
you can test sending eicar test file…zipped and password protected and not password protected
