Yes, it is bieng detected by Avast for some time around. But it was not detected 2 months ago. The VT scans are old so, at that time only 5 scanners detected this variant. Now 39 of them are able to detect this globo.exe.

Are you still running avast with the web shield disabled as in your other topic ?

Whilst the web shield wouldn’t detect this by signature if it wasn’t in the virus definitions, but the web shield has other tricks up its sleeves where it is detecting the exploits/hacked sites/etc. that aren’t going by the standard signatures, so it may well be able to prevent this getting on your system without detecting it by signature.
