I have not avast on my system now for a while (win was reinstalled, linux died).
I found few new viruses and traid to scan them with online scan.
353 descript.ion.vir
4 608 ms32.0ys.vir
634 880 sdcmon.dll.vir
206 552 sfcont.dll.vir
1 762 816 tgcmd.exe.vir
853 504 tgupdate.exe.vir
If file size is bigger then 512 kb it just not showing page :(
Is it some way to scan bigger files at least just for registred users? Becouse sometimes it is difficult to find if some of files is known virus for avast if avast is not installed on computer.
hmm...I hope that I not posting in the wrong forum....

What about testing other on-line scanners that include avast in their scannings?
Jotti (http://virusscan.jotti.org/)
Trendmicro (http://www.trendmicro.com)
Virustotal (http://www.virustotal.com/xhtml/index_en.html).
But I agree with you that the limit for on-line avast scanning is very small... :-\

Jotti page gonna be often orverloaded, now days.
And I want fast to know what files to send to avast.
not all online scanners show file by file information if them are in one zip archive.
-
Well VirusTotal is very similar to Jotti and between the two you should be able to check things quickly.
There are also other single file on-line checkers but they tend to be single engine scans so not as good an indication.

I think the avast! online scanner hasn't finished yet, it's still in the beta state so we shouldn't rely on it.
You can see that avast! on my machine and avast! engine on VirusTotal detected a sample but avast! online scanner did not.
