While I was surfing a web page avast! has given a warning about a virus that now is in the chest. Can this file be tested without being restored ?
Many thanks .

Ok ,I’ve got the path to the chest and the number of the file.
The iotti test is OK then it was a false positive…
Below there are malaware statictis …I think they are not refered to my file ,isn’t it ?
Many thanks.

If I try to restore the file I get the warning for Virus found !
This means that the file I submit to Iotti from the chest is in some way different from the real file ?! ??
No, if I understood you, the file is an avast false positive.
avast will consider it as a virus, even the file is clean (by the jotti test)…

I think the files in the chest are always encrypted then the virus has not been detected by iotti . To be analyzed they have to be restored ! Since this could be dangerous I’ve e-mailed it to Alwil. I hope that it can be analyzed . If it was a Virus , Avast had done a great job ! This malware was in the java cache that now I’ve cleared, it was a *.class file. and to have detected it has been a very very good job…if it is relly a malware…
Correct ?
Many thanks.
Sorry, sgrbrlnd, you’re correct. I did not realize you have to take the file out from the Chest. Thanks for submitting the file and helping to improve avast.
