File is NOT detected by Avast :confused:

New VT Scan: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/0c570ef163f31ce244e19f097bc59f1a0a82183c76e219751f6561883207c8b5/analysis/1443618390/

Still only AVG to detect for some reason.

Response from Avast Labs: File will be detected with the next database Update :slight_smile:

Well done ;D, Steven Winderlich, we will be protected then.
That’s why we keep doing this. To add undetected malcode to Avast detection,
to get the Avast user base even better protected as they already are.

Hybrid-Analysis or Reverse.it (Its the same) are a good option to check files, may be useful for you
