do you mean that you have some virus samples that avast does not detect ?
if so send to virus@avast.com

you can aslo test the samples at www.virustotal.com
when you have the result, copy the URL in the address bar and post the result here

Quite likely you won't get a reply. They probably have thousands of samples submitted daily. Just re-scan periodically after Avast updates, in the chest, (or where ever you have these files stored; the chest is a good place for suspect files) and see if the detections are added.

missed Conficker samples? binaries, autoruns, scheduler jobs? i seriously doubt there would be an undetected Conficker binary sample (it must have been corrupted imho)
