Summit virus to avast
« on: April 11, 2011, 03:30:15 AM »
I really appreciate the "summit to virus lab" options because of its effects. But if a file with larger size (about 10M), it seems that sending virus to avast is not effective anymore. The process of sending always encounters errors

The max size you can send from the virus chest on avast6 is currently 16MB (annotated in KB) so I don't think a little over 10MB shouldn't be a problem for avast. Perhaps a server or connection issue, but you don't say why/what errors it encounters ?

Generally you don't see that may very large files as viruses, perhaps in packed executables where the infected file can't be extracted.
