PC Tools has allowed a few malicious files on a OP's system which I'm helping at the moment, they seem to can't find their .txt files from Malwarebytes either.

Notice the version of Avast they are referencing is Version 6. They have been on Version 7 for quite some time

I think that was when they tested for the magazine article. Surely the real time thingee is using the latest editions?
