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.
