    They are already working in that way . v4 introduces new way of using Adv.Heur. with additional options for removable media.

    As you know - missing threats is pretty normal for any AV vendor nowadays . One will detect it , another will miss it . More important is to miss less and catch more , which ESET already does well.

    I didn't say you aren't .

    Using AH for PE files coming from removable media is generally considered something that will enable better detection of threat spreading via removable media . However , this doesn't mean 100% malware detection .

    According to Symantec's website this threat is used to download another malware - have you checked if the actual payload detected by ESET ?

    Please PM me details about the email you sent to samples[at]eset.com. I couldn't find any with "sillyFDC" in the subject. What's more, the names you provided seem to be a very generic and cover too many different malware.

    It's a compiled Autoit script, detected with the latest version 3710.

    Is it just in v4 or you have somehow made a mistake in the name ?
    Why such name - AutoRun.Autoit ? Isn't this a duplication in the name ?

    Sorry, I don't understand. Autorun is the variant name while Autoit is the family name. What's not clear about that?
