    I went to the exploit url, comodo popuped alert windows, but AVG link scanner did not.

    Does AVG LinkScanner provide any sort of behavior analyzing, or at least heuristics?

    Did you test COMODO and LinkScanner at the exact same time? I mean, were they both enabled at the same time?

    I'm asking because what could have happened is that, by the time you tested the URL with LinkScanner, it was already down?

    I tried to verify the URL with other services, but it seems to be down. Wepawet flagged it as malicious, but now it can't analyze it, at all.

    -http://wepawet.iseclab.org/view.php?hash=e2e0637381d6b50fbac87e88134e7b76&t=1317266500&type=js

    Or, it could be that malware authors are protecting their URLs from URL scanners such as LinkScanner? It wouldn't be the first time.

    You could try and contact AVG and provide them the exploit, if you got it and see if they can do anything about it?

    imo, that should have been the OP's first order of business, if he/she is actually concerned about the lack of detection of a java exploit. the only way the vendor can know there's an issue or provide support is if you contact them. unfortunately, that seems to be an afterthought most of the time.
