Whenever the malcode is shown in the online scanner in a way and it is detected by the avast shields, these will then immediately block connection to that scan site.
Avast check for malware software#
Scanners have their blind spots and do not always scan that deep, e.g.: Īnd for the security researchers, there are additional scanners to be used, sandboxed in the browser and with script protection up, specific online Flash and javascript scanners, iFrame scanners, scanners that give details of website vulnerabilities (too much information given away as header details for automatically generated content, cookies, Flash with LSO cookies, too much info on server version info given out, not fully updated and upgraded web appl software and additional exploit vulnerabilities).īut at scanning always follow these rules, do not double click a suspicious link, do not open with other software, cut and paste and then scan via a third party, always prefer this third party scanning over scanning on your computer because there is always the danger of getting infected or malcode escaping from a sandbox, so watch your clicks! When you have a domain name and IP number you can scan for malware there. If you find malware with an reputable online scanner and the file-analysis comes up with a particular MD5 hash, you could do a google query with that hash to get more information on the malcode at hand. Here on the forum I always have someone to countercheck my results. So you always have to check and countercheck. A malware site may have been cleansed of malcode or recent defacement, could be not responsive, taken offline, just been reinfected, have been migrated by the malcreants. Nothing is more ever changing that fast as the malware landscape on the World WideWeb. Remember as DavidR says that where scanners base their results on blacklisting resources, the actual situation could have been altered.
