re-avast5

Hi, I changed from AVG to Avast5 last night, reluctantly, scanned twice and no infections found. However, malware bytes found Trojan Dropper this morning, so either, it got on during change over, os has Avast let it through?Is it a virus, and therefore should have been detected by Avast, or Malware, which Avast doesn,t detect?Or is Avast not as good as good as it claimed to be,cannot remember last time I had a trojan on with avg, never used pc during scans;

    well after a quick google it appears a dropper is a peice of malware designed to allow the instalation of other bits of software or back doors into your system,

    its a difficult one really with virus scanners (also had you done a malwarebytes scan before you uninstalled AVG with the same definitions?) because no virus scanner is 100% effective and when you consider there are well over 1,000,000 virus's for windows even a drop of 0.1% (so a AV with a 99.9% detection rate) will still let over 1000 virus's passed
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Hi Gonzo, YesI did malwarebytes scan before installing Avast, it,s on this site with Hijackthis log.I do a scan using malwarebytes every day, I looked it up on google too. The thing is, has it come via back door, and has it dropped its load, if it had one?

    well i am sure someone will come up with another idea to check your system but i would personally expect that it probably hasnt otherwise malwarebytes would have probably picked up the other bits.

    if you are worried you could always do a system restore to try and get rid of any changes it might have made if any, you could also try Avira instead of Avast as it does have one of the best detection rates and i have a funny feeling you probably wont be able to trust Avast in the forseable future anyway, personally i have never had a problem with Avast when i have been working in windows (use Ubuntu most of the time anyway) but then again it is a numbers game as stated above even the best anti virus with a 99.9% detection rate will still miss over 1000 virus's

    Thanks gonzo, I ,ll keep looking to see if it,s dropped anything, probably not.If I do change, I think I,ll go back to AVG.no problems at all with it.Just thought I would see how Avast did .Should have known better, stick with what you know.My daughter has Avira, paid for version, I had her pc last week , riddled, not updated, although auto updates activated, thats twice I,ve done it.So don,t think that,s on.Pitty you cannot have 2 on, and switch between them.Not in their interests I suppose.:beer:

    Open malwarebytes, goto LOGS and post the WHOLE of the last log

    Please post a link to where you downloaded Avast from

    Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
    Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
    (do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)
    If you get a message that you cant write to the hosts file then Press the SHIFT key, and whilst holding it RIGHT CLICK and select RUN AS (admin)

    why are you going back to avg, that didn't find anything either, neither did spybot/rapport which are churning away slowing things down without any benefit. avast has the best detection rates and lightest footprint of any free ones, as already explained, no antivirus finds everything, it may even be a false positive, or undetected due to out of date signatures.
