You seem to be the admin and even though, the access error 5 is listed there... strange uh? I'm empty on guessing what is happening...

i just submitted the pdf file again and it had the sending dialog
but the setup.log has not been modified since june 2.?

Confusingly there is another setup.log file and I never know which is used for what (they look the same) check out the other one, C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\log\Setup.log.

Are there any files in the C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\spool\suspic folder ?
That is where they are stored before upload.

When the folder is empty there are no files awaiting upload, either they haven't been submitted or they have been sent.

So now that is in the folder the submission is ready to be uploaded during either the next auto update or on a manual iAVS update. I suggest doing a manual update and watch its progress, first it will download any update, then it will upload the file from the suspic folder (you should see that part of the process and clear the folder) and finally it will complete the update process and display the update details.

This is what the log should look like from a previous submission, see image extract.

Check both log files, and check back further, you can even search for the package submit: string.

Update:

OK I have resubmitted a file previously submitted, see image1 the file being uploaded and image2 and extract of the C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\setup.log showing successful upload.

So it is working as expected on my system.

The only files in there should be those with weird looking names contained in the {wriggly brackets}.suspic, as in my images as it doesn't retain its original file name as it is also encrypted I believe.

You aren't looking for suspicious files in the log but the specific line entries for the upload:

That is just the audio file for notifying you of a suspicious email, etc.

You should be searching within the setup.log (for the Submit: files string) using notepad.

data log setup.log
Submit:

29.05.2009   14:06:39.000   1243631199   package   Submit: files 0, bytes 0, time 0 ms
29.05.2009   14:06:39.000   1243631199   package   Submit success: files 0, bytes 0, time 0 ms

there are more but there the same zeros just different times.

That is from 29/5/2009 8 days ago so doesn't correspond to your submissions as topic only started on the 2nd and first submissions after that. The log is in chronological order with new lines added at the bottom (appended) so any submit: files entry would be near the bottom of the file.
