Well if you have this sample on your system it is easy to add it to the user files section of the chest and upload it from there.

They can analyse a file, they can't analyse the virustotal results page.

They can do no harm in the User Files section of the chest (delete the original copy in the original location). With them there it also allows you to periodically scan them within the chest, when avast adds them to the VPS you will see them detected.

Send a mail with the file to the ALWIL Lab for the analysis. Compress the file and put an password, remember says the password in the mail and next atach this
