How to report a file?
« on: June 19, 2008, 07:13:41 AM »
Hey guys, Ive got a bit of a stupid question on my part but how would I send a undetected Trojan to avast? the computer im on now doesnt have Avast installed but I just recently did a scan with Kaspersky's online scanner and it caught a trojan on the system that avast didnt when installed so I uploaded the file to virus total to see if it was a false positive and 17 out of 32 scanners detected something in it so I was wondering how do I send it to them from here to help out with detection?

You can submit it to www.virustotal.com and they will resend it to Alwil team.
Or you can send directly to virus (at) avast.com (please, mention a link to this thread in the email body).
