Avast can't find SPYs!!!

Avast missed - webhancer, keystroke real time spy(((

If you have a sample send it to avast.

Send the sample to virus@avast.com zipped and password protected with the password in email body, a link to this topic might help and undetected malware in the subject.

Or you can also add the file to the User Files (File, Add) section of the avast chest (if it isn’t already there) where it can do no harm and send it from there (select the file, right click, email to Alwil Software). No need to zip and PW protect when the sample is sent from chest. A copy of the file/s will remain in the original location, so any further action you take can remove that. Send it from the User Files section of the chest (select the file, right click, email to Alwil Software).

This process has been modified in the latest version to make it easier, it doesn’t actually get emailed, but transferred when the next avast auto (or manual) update is done.

Easier? What do you mean? :slight_smile: Why do you zip and PW protect in the chest?

Easier in that submitting from the chest doesn’t go by email, so those without regular email accounts like web mail can easily send/upload samples to avast.

You don’t zip and password protect files sent from the chest, that is what needs to happen if you send samples directly by email yourself, something which I thought was clear in the text you quoted “No need to zip and PW protect when the sample is sent from chest.”

Sorry David, I misread you post. :-[ early in the morning, dark skies, holiday season, no glasses, small monitor, etc

no problem.
