Sorry if this has been asked before but I can’t find the answer. How does one send a suspect file from the Chest to Avast? I’ve tried right clicking it and selecting “Email to ALWIL Software…” from the menu but nothing happens.
Nothing happens?
What operating system do you use?
What is the exact build of avast! you have installed?
Actually, this is not a bug. It just way that happens. Its not intuitive.
Check my post (the part that starts with -->):
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=40445.0
Its says how it works, and what could be done to be more intuitive.
Thanks!

The latest version of avast is 4.8.1296.
The later builds of avast (hence Igor’s question on what build you have) have a new submission method, whilst it is initiated by the Email to ALWIL Software, it doesn’t actually use email to upload to avast. However it should still display an interface for you to complete.
The submission is then uploaded to avast during the Auto/Manual VPS/Program update.
Thanks for the replies.
Igor,
My O/S is XP Home SP3. My version of Avast is 4.8 Database 081127-1,11/27
BrBasil,
Thanks for the link to your thread. No, I do not get those dialogue boxes to fill in. I get absolutely nothing. :-\
4.8.what?
I mean, the version number is always comprised of three numbers.
Thanks

Sorry! :-\ Is this what we need: 4.8.1296?
If you open avast! Log Viewer (e.g. from the tray icon) and select the Error cathegory - are there any recent items there?
Nah, nothing under “Error” just the suspect listed under “Warning” with the date and time it was found.
