@ Hellion
Why not submit it from the avast chest, as it doesn't have to go through numerous email servers (which could possibly kill it). I think coming directly from the chest may well get a faster response and you don't zip and password protect the sample in order to email it as it is directly uploaded during the next auto update check (or if you invoke a manual update check).
Can you please modify your signature it is massive, no need for double line spacing and more can be placed on a single line, thanks.
