Hi all.
I remember reading about VRDB 2.0 and assumed it was going
to be included with avast 4.6.
Well a couple months later, hows this feature coming along?
I don’t remember that… Maybe I’m reading to many posts at this forum ;D
What should be VRDB 2.0? What features were expected?
VRDB 2.0 was unofficially planned for 4.6 release. But than things got too complex so they canceled it for 4.6. Maybe in 5.x …
And so? :
Not very well, I’m afraid.
Long time ago, I prepared most of the “low level stuff” (extraction of the important information from files, special compression of the data, fixing the infected file), but since then I didn’t have time to do the “high level stuff” as well (the management of the database and the actual testing). There are still more important things to do 
I’d say that I would like to finish this feature, but it probably isn’t a top priority right now, because file infectors are quite rare today…
You need a bigger office, more programmers working with you, become a ‘big’ company 8)
But on the other hand i agree with igor. File infectors are very rare today. They should focus on detection and removal of current worms,trojans and backdoors.
VRDB 1.0 should keep us safe from majority of those file infectors that are still active.
Especially problematic are endless numbers of Rbot/Spybot/AgoBot variants.
