PnkBstrK.sys 0byte file? rootkit-gen

i know that your busy with a fix for it…but i was just wondering does avast have a built in blocker to stop viruses getting uploaded to virustotal once detected? cause ive tryed uploading pnkbstrk to virus total and it just keeps loading being ready to upload

and when i tryed to send it via email it said it was sent in as a 0 byte size file

how can i be sure if its a false positive or mines really a virus…

it didnt get an alert yesterday only today when i was connecting to a server and it said i was banned by punkbuster via the admin

Standard Shield could block the file upload (not WebShield, that does not scan outbound connections).

The Internet Mail provider acts as the same as Standard Shield.

You can copy the file elsewhere? Can you send from another folder to virus total?
