I’m not that sad… I recommend it just because a lot of other people do.
I never like it, tryed but has a very non-impressive behavior… even crash…
I’ll remove of that list. Thank Frank.
It used to catch Trojans that avast! didn’t. This week I had to manually remove four Trojans which avast! had missed from a computer.
TDS-3 was discontinued apparently because of the improved detection of Trojans by anti-virus programs.
It seems avast! has some catching up to do!
Ewido recognised one of the critters when I copied it to a floppy, but I couldn’t use it on the computer itself because it was ME. a-Squared works on ME but couldn’t see the Trojan. At Jotti, Clam-Win and Anti-Vir had it nailed.
Just one example, but avast! needs to pull its socks up if it’s going to be taken seriously as an AV. It’s no good if we have to recommend other programs to remove malware avast! should be finding.
avast! is light-years ahead of Anti-Vir and Clam-Win in terms of features, but always seems to lag behind in detection.
PS Sorry for butting in on your posting with my rant Krayster. Follow Techs advice and you should be alright!
What is wrong with the topic you started on this two days ago? http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=16664.msg141494#msg141494
Duplicat posts don’t mean the problem will be resolved quicker. You should have continued on the original topic as this just causes duplication of effort for those who try to help.
Frank, here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=16648.0, we’re discussing Rootkits and the need of avast improvements.
You’ve said avast! is better than Anti-Vir and Clam-Win in features. We need better detection for sure.
