I tried to upload a file to the contact form AT http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php?subject=VIRUS-FILE many times but it does not work. It is called dde6b5a.msi and is a Windows Installer Package by Andica Limited. Avast has flagged it as malware as well as 2 other Andica files and another by Unity Player. Those 3 were all moved to the chest.
Try to send them to virus@avast.com subject:false positive. In a password protected archive password:virus
Those 3 were all moved to the chest.you can send the files from chest

Thanks Steven Winderlich and Pondus for the speedy responses.
I’ve submitted the files that were already in the chest.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what to do about the one I was trying to upload. It is a pretty big file around 45 MB so too big to email, though I haven’t tried zipping it.
And I got a warning message when I tried to move it to the chest, too.

you can also test the file here www.virustotal.com or here www.metascan-online.com if scanned before, click rescan
you may post link to scan result here
Hi Pondus
Thanks again. i did already run a test on virustotal.com. The online avast scan also thinks it’s malware though others did not. I’ll rescan and post links.
