Question about send new virus

Viruses and worms
1

I send several new virus sample three days ago.But up to now I recieve no reply,who can tell me why .

Hi and welcome,
Im sure Avast! are thankful for your sample and appreciate the effort you have made but as a rule they dont respond to submissions all the time.
If you still have a sample of the virus and you want confirmation of what it is , try posting it here http://virusscan.jotti.org/de/ and scan it with a whole range of scanners .
good luck :slight_smile:

Alwil only respond to new submission if they need/want additional information.

I submitted a trojan 4 days ago to virus@avast.com and it doesn’t look like they added it into the vps since then. :o

Have you tried it at Jotti`s multi scanner?

Alwil will add high risk threads immediatly, other things will be implemented in ‘scheduled’ updates of the vps. And the submitted samples must have a full version of the malware, if not they can not add detecting for it.

I see no reason to not be in the user side. I mean, shame on Alwil, sorry but detection is detection.
Hint: hire people :wink:

Sure did. I have these 2 bookmarked in favourites:
http://virusscan.jotti.org/
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html

and they both showed no virus found for avast. antivir did alright in both tests though.

Jotti should also pass virus samples on to those AVs that didn’t detect it at the time when you uploaded it for testing.

Wow! That’s very good…
I didn’t know that… so it’s the easiest way to submit files for analysis 8)
