Is this virus in the new Update - I don’t find it in the list from avast?

Trojan.Hotword.B is a Trojan horse that opens a back door and steals confidential information from a compromised computer. The Trojan sends the stolen information to a remote server.

I do not know, if you have the sample check it on Avast homepage or send it to Avast. You could also test it at virusscan.jotti.org.
But Mcafee and Symantec report it as not beeing ITW at all.
