Hi,

I represent Greatis Software and our product: UnHackMe:
https://www.unhackme.com
I got a message from our user:
"Avast reported Hackmon.exe infected with WannaCry while I was installing Unhackme. "
Screenshot of the issue:

I used this form:
Report a false positive (select file or website)
https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php

It is always finished by error screen.

I have been trying to submit a file for analysis from the virus chest and I got an error message. 

"! Something went wrong. Please try again later."

If this is the same it could be an issue with all submissions.

Certainly looks like a backend problem.

I will try and draw some attention to it.
