Having found a positive a couple of weeks ago, I immediately moved it to the virus chest and despatched from there to AVAST for identification. As the file is the uninstaller for Picassa, and had been present for several months on the machine without arousing any suspicion, I was not surprised that there was no response to the submission (the default response to no threat).
However I wish to scan it using the standard virustotal etc. systems, so that I am fully comfortable with it before getting it out of the chest.
Is it possible to submit it direct from the chest, or do I have to extract it and then submit immediately.
