RE: Avast! 7 Free Antivirus Prevention Test (BETA)

Thanks for the test Mrxidus.
This Avast 7 version did well, but i think that detection will go up when they enable file reputation. Here is what VLK said on avast forums

"FileRep is indeed not active yet, and that's why I'd recommend refraining from any detection tests for now (using this beta).
It should be enabled in the first half of next week (still sorting out some backend/infrastructure issues).

We will keep you posted.

Thanks
Vlk "

Thanks for the information. I will be conducting more tests in future time for Avast 7 that's for sure.

You can look at this test as an introduction / early overview before FileRep gets enabled.

Mostly the newly FileRep will be in the experimental stage since it will be add to gather more information to know if the is being malicious or benign. Beside on its previous shields that's currently used.
