Why this thread is still open ?  :o
I don't think any analyst come everyday to check here best thing that works well is e mail submission chest or support/report virus to virus lab (in V8).

Why would someone even think about downloading a .rar.zip when the installer can be downloaded from the official site? Makes no sense imo.
For those interested: http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/

As for this topic, I'd assume it's useless. As shown in the above example, you would have no way of knowing where the user downloaded the offending content and rather it's legit or not. Such information can determine the difference between false positive and potential malware.

I have said for ages this topic is a waste of time.

Most people post, but don't follow up: A. avast need the sample sent directly and more so B. when the signature is added then the post should be modified to reflect that it is now included.

On point B seeing that in this topic is rarer than rocking horse droppings.
