Don’t lose yours then ![]()
Sorry Omid, but does this make your suggestion also useless? I don’t think so…
No it is a total waste of time posting the VT results as I have stated quite clearly and not as you have taken an extract of my comments and posted it in isolation.
It is a total waste of time, avast will always be trying to improve detections. It is the nature of the beast that AVs will always be playing catchup. This is why the generic, algorithmic, behavioural and heuristic signatures/rules were introduced to help improve over just signature based detection.
I’m not the one wasting time posting VT results.
I’m not the one wasting time posting VT results.
Just let the thread there. Don’t post. Don’t read. Don’t waste your time. But don’t say a thread that I have opened with the best intention and with 180+ posts is a waste of time. It’s a matter of personal respect to the one who opened the thread.
The number of posts or who started it or respect for who started it has nothing to do with how useful or useless or a waste of time a topic is. That is down to clear hard facts, simply posting the VT results isn’t going to help detections, samples are.
Why if it isn’t a waste of time have several of the virus labs team said it doesn’t help them. So to that end it has to be a waste of time and as I keep banging one if you don’t bother to update your posts when a missed sample is added then it is totally unbalanced. So those visiting the forum get a totally unbalanced view about avast missing samples when there are no subsequent updates when they are added.
So sorry, if I decline your autonomous command not to read, post or waste my time. That is my right to waste my time as it is yours ;D
No one has said anything about your best intentions, that isn’t in doubt, just the fact that it isn’t meeting your intention.
As my first thread get hijacked and closed without even warning me :P, I’m starting a new one trying to help avast improving detection if possible.
Are you submitting the samples to avast?
If not, you’re losing your time posting the links…
Sure Tech, Everything I post here is sent to Avast (Along with as many others that aren’t detecting them as possible)

At least after 1 hour of work, can I have an answer from the virus analysts to this particular post?
