Thanks Red…!
Btw, the video plays well in VLC.
I was download this interview via Facebook. Thank you
I have downloaded the video already and am watching it in VLC …I didn’t know the safezone browser was using an Avast secure DNS server 8) (not that cool that I didn’t know it, must have been mentioned on the forums somewhere… could have seen this with fiddler)
(…too bad he didn’t speak about the behavior shield…)
ps: where are the aquariums with worms and viruses ??? did you guys see that when you went to Prague ??? ;D
Works fine on my Windows 7 system and will send it to my Windows 7 phone with Zune.
Another point: did I understand correctly that WebRep takes into account: 1st the avast team opinion and only after that the votes of the users?
Yep, he said that.
Another good new… Not that even mentioned before…
But it would be good to know how the DNS of the main connection are “by passed”.
no he’s just saying that webrep being userbase oriented, they don’t rely on users concerning infections in web sites. Meaning that when webrep reports that a site is infected, it gets the info in priority from Avast labs and not the users, which I find normal. User base ratings are reported and taken into account for web content only.
Not only normal, but necessary… Is WebRep showing a site as red in this condition or not? Are you sure?
tech I don’t use WebRep, so I can’t check… I just told you what Vlk said in the video … this said hopefully when a site is infected there’s a warning… no idea how it shows… probably in red like you say.
Hope Vlk drop some light over these points (WebRep and DNS).
Meaning that when webrep reports that a site is infected, it gets the info in priority from Avast labs and not the users, which I find normal.
Yes, he said they get the info from two sources.
- virus-lab
- users
And I guess the lab has the last word.

We have seen the aquariums ;D
Here a picture of Ondrej standing in one of them.
Greetz, Red.
To be honest, I don’t think that webrep reports any infections?
It sends info only when you push the button… and there is nowhere you can select “infected”, or am I wrong with this?
I don’t see any way for WebRep to report a site as infected. Red just means a lot of users didn’t like it, hopefully with the content icons indicating why. Any infection reports I have seen were from Network Shield, since you are blocked from going to the infected site to see what WebRep might think of it anyway. See http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=75453.msg624461#msg624461 for example.
@Rednose cheers ;D

That was my point: is WebRep using avast infection information of just users votes?
Maybe he unintentionally spoke about the future of WR…

+1 (you might see the webrep symbols within the results list if you google for the specific site, maybe)
Where is he?
On a plane or on avast headquarters?
