I have some trojans that were detected by both AntiVir and eTrust as ByteVerify trojan (some of them are new variants as I was informed by CA). I sent them - twice - weeks ago to alwil and till now there are not added yet :
I use Sun’s JRE so they do no harm to my system, but my quistion is :
Does alwil drop detection for old trojans/viruses after a while as none of them where detected by avast? ???
thanx in advance…
Avast does not drop older detection strings.
This is what could have happend:
