Whitelisting account suspended -- how do I unsuspend?
« on: November 30, 2022, 08:39:30 AM »
We'd gotten access to the Avast whitelisting program about a year ago. We hadn't had a problem in some time, and in March, we received an email saying that our whitelisting account was suspended.

Hello,

because of your inactivity for more than 200 days in our whitelisting program, we suspended your account.

Login: ftp_choiceofgamescom

This action does not affect already uploaded files and their digital signatures.

In case you want to be a part of our whitelisting program again, feel free to contact our support centre at https://support.avast.com/en-ww and we will resume your account again.

Details about the whitelisting program can be found at https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/Threat-Lab-file-whitelist

Have a nice day!

Here's the problem: I can't figure out how to request getting unsuspended, and specifically I can't figure out how to contact support via https://support.avast.com/en-ww

There's a blue "Contact Us" button at the bottom, but it then gives us four options:

1. Technical support for a free Avast product
2. Technical support for a paid Avast product
3. Refunds, cancellations, billing, payment, or license issues
4. Privacy request

We don't pay for Avast, so I have to select option 1. When I do, I find that I'm not even allowed to contact Avast; they just link me to the forum.

So, what do I do here? How do I get unsuspended? For that matter, how do I contact Avast technical support? Is the forum my only option?

I emailed whitelisting@avast.com and got a reply re-enabling us.
