Hi DavidR,

So first thing to do send to virus AT avast dot com to add to detection if found to be real malware. This is our forum responsibilty to our fellow avast users and to help towards better avast detection.
Second important thing is to know from where the suspicious file was downloaded. I always like to have my VT results come in pairs: 1. VT URL scan and 2. the subsequent file scan. This could near down the malware a bit more. Notice also that some malware is changing overnight and migrating quickly once found up/reported. Also malware can act differently when running in scanners or analysis tools then when trying to infect a vicitim.
Well alerting to it can be a good thing after all, because there is the possibility the malware will be dead (not responsive) soon or not up any longer from where it resided or infected from. I follow the VirusWatch listing daily to see what the migration patterns are and what malware has gone to be “daily dirt”. The malcreant is a “collosal” opponant, and he is looking right over our shoulders, so stay secure you all,
