Try here for virus definitions—

I had problems updating for a while & used the info there to keep my defs. updated.
I sent a message to—

https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/33/

Their Support Tool.

They never responded but a little later Avast Premier started updating itself & connecting again.
I think they did something in the background & never told me about it.
See my original thread—

As of today—1/7/2018 it is still working.

I suggest you install Malwarebytes free or paid.
I got paid.

https://www.malwarebytes.com/

It found 91 threats that Avast Premium failed to find.
It has no conflicts with an anti-virus program like Avast.
They can run at the same time. :slight_smile:
Not run scans at the same time.!

Just a thought. :slight_smile:

It found 91 threats that Avast Premium failed to find.
And what threats was that?

PUP is not threat = Possible Unwanted Program
Do you have avast PUP detection turned on?

Yes for PUPS—

I examined the 91 results & found they were bad with Google.
I removed them.
Avast failed to detect them.
Plain & simple.
The things it detcted & I removed were NOT PUPS.
But Malware.
I can’t provide a screenshot since I removed them.
Why would I lie about something like this unless YOU work for Avast & want to defend it from negative comments ???

I dont doubt that ...
Why would I lie about something like this......
Did i say you lied?

I asked what was detected and if you have turned avast PUP detection on, not Malwarebytes

I can't provide a screenshot since I removed them.
you find it in Malwarebytes log >> https://www.malwarebytes.com/support/guides/mb/

What are PUP detections, are they threats, and should you delete them?

unless YOU work for Avast & want to defend it from negative comments
Those who work for avast have a orange avast logo and "Avast Team" as part of there forum name and i dont use avast ;)

No anti-virus has 100% detection but I doubt Avast failed to detect 81 malware samples unless they were old MS-DOS variants (if you exclude PUA and PUMs).

Is it possible if you attach the Malwarebytes log scan to show which infections were detected?

Evangelist and Uberevangelist do not work for Avast.
