File is NOT detected by Avast

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

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.

The signature hasnt been released yet

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