Will avast! start an online malware/FP submit system? :
Since V5 will soon be released, I guess an online system will benefit a lot to the detection rate of avast!, though it’s very good already. ;D
Is there a plan to do so? ???
Why would they? Avast already has the option to submit fp’s/malware build in.
Guess an online submit system will be even better.
If Virustotal tells certain sample cannot be detected by avast!, I still can submit even if i’m not using AVAST! ;D
If you are able to upload to VT, then you are just as able to add them to the chest and use its direct submission:
Or you can also add the file to the User Files (File, Add) section of the avast chest (if it isn’t already in the chest) where it can do no harm and send it from there. A copy of the file/s will remain in the original location, so you will need to take further action and can remove/rename that.
Send it from the User Files section of the chest (select the file, right click, email to Alwil Software). It will be uploaded (not actually emailed) to avast when the next avast auto (or manual) update is done.
