Firstly I didn't know how to upload it from the chest so I extracted the 'virus' to another folder first, was that correct ?
In the virus chest it cannot be scanned, this is protection measure to stop the virus from starting up and spreading the infection ;), so extracting it and then scanning it was the only way :).
If only avast detected it, its most likely a false positive.
So this is what you should do:
Password protect the file with Winzip or WinRAR
Email it to virus@avast.com
In the email mention you think its a false positive, and also mention the password to open the file.
