Finding what has been updated

This is going to sound stupid, but I really need to know.

When a new database is released for Avast, where do I look to find out what new detections have been added?

go to www.avast.com and click on the date next to
virus dataBase
avast 4

Thanks… that was so simple, I just didn’t see it.

Next question… I understand [Trj], [Wrm], [Htm], [Vbs], [Drp], but I don’t understand [Joke]. No joke, what does this mean?

Hi,

a Joke program is something which tries to scare you (like popping up a fake dialog seeming to be formatting your harddisk), or changes something (like putting your desktop upside down
Not really harmful and usually easy to remove, but annoying :wink:

Where did you find that acronyms? Are they anywhere in avast files (help, program…)?

The acronyms were used in the virus descriptions on avast’s site

I got that exactly problem (all upside down)! i turned my monitor upside down to resolve this problem :stuck_out_tongue: and i was searching for a removal tool…

avast can detect that joke? please tell me as soon as possible
thanks

It may also be that someone (if they have access) is playing a practical joke with your monitor rotation in your graphics card settings, if you have Nvidia see image. Or if you have a different graphics card does it have a similar function.
