Perhaps he wasn't concentrating and missed your question. Maybe he will confirm that he *is* using Version 5 in due course. Btw, at the link you posted it *does* say about the Free version of Avast! Antivirus and anti-spyware Secures e-mail and chats I had a look at the web site of the other person commenting on your Blog about Malwarebytes. http://gopcfix.com/ John Warnken seems to be quite genuine - maybe you should invite him to this thread?!! -- Dave

For the record "the lastest version" means exactly that, 5.0.462. I'm wondering what part of "latest version" people don't understand. Anyhow, back to our story...MB found it, Avast didn't. The ave.exe malware program has been out there for some time. I first saw it almost a year ago. I'm really surprised and disappointed that Avast didn't see it, and I'm inclined to rethink whether I should encourage my customers to use it.
