Sending a suspissious file for analise -- need an assistance please
« on: January 30, 2007, 08:29:15 PM »
Hi All!
I have just sent an archive with  a suspissious file gor analise to virus@avast.com.
I made it from avast! Virus Chest, but in that way I can't add the password to it.
So my question is: Will that e-mail come for an analise?  ???
P.S. My email provider server has the built in antivirus checking (by Dr.Web) , but Dr.Web "don't know" anithing about this virus too)
Thanks  :)

Why do you mean?
If Alwil team will answer you by email?
Generally not. They receive the file, add the signature in virus data base but don't automatically answer to senders.
If I'm misunderstanding you, can you rephrase your question?

Sending suspect samples from the User Files section of the chest are encrypted and as such you don't need to do anything, no zipping or password protecting required.

It will get through even if it were a sample that could be detected because it is encrypted and AV scanners don't/can't decrypt the attachment. Whilst it is possible with a powerful computer and time to decrypt, the processing effort and time involved isn't worth it for email servers scanning emails.
