Guten Tag Marck D Pearlstone,

It's not like AVG had a malfunction. It behaves exactly as it has been designed and exactly as the user expect it to behave: - Check something that's known to be no threat, be silent. - Check something that's known to be a threat, alert. - Check something that can't be evaluated and just might be a threat, by all means, _do_ alert. If AVG behaves differently in the future it is not doing its job. The only possible solution might be to add the TheBat signature to AVG's definition file so AVG can say "ok, I can't check this, but I know this particular file and am positive that it's not a threat". AS>> What exactly have they promised to do? Remove Themida detection or AS>> including a TheBat known-good signature? > Improve their Themida detection so that it doesn't make mistakes. You were there when Marek discussed the issue with Grisoft? Great, then maybe you could clarify whether they have indeed deliberatly damaged their own product on RIT's request by ignoring Themida at all or if they actually took the trouble to green-list the TheBat executable? The latter would be quite a job for them, because obviously they'd need a new signature each time a new version of TheBat is released. -- Mit freundlichem Gruß Alto Speckhardt mailto:[email protected] TheBat v4.2.6
