[QUOTE="MDTechVideos, post: 105146, member: 2049"] What do you mean "it does not matter now"? It took Avast a few additional moments to jump on the execution of that particular piece of malware. It is assumed all of the executables in the pack of malware are malicious, but in that pack can be expected many Potentially Unwanted Programs(PUP's) and Adware-bundled toolbar's, which is most of what slipped by Avast. As to the reason why I was using virussign samples: it was the most convenient place for me to find them considering the latest samples from MT were about 2 weeks old. The single most important thing that needs to be acknowledged is that I tested a BETA product. This was more of a demonstration of how the product will react/perform/look than an actual test to determine the protection offered by an antivirus/antimalware solution. So while the malware used is still important, it is not as significant when testing a beta. @Bioz: I am looking for it. When I find it I will send it over the pm. [/QUOTE]
