Question for Avast!'s virus lab about AVZ.

Well,maybe you hear about AVZ. The program is used by the Russian virus helpers for analysis of infected systems. The program creates a quarantine,where suspicious files are stored. The files have .dta extension. Can Avast’s virus lab analyze files with such extension?

Hi Onix,

If they can handle a dragon unpacker, they can, but wait for an answer by one of the avast mods,

we definitely prefer well documented formats (such as pw-protected zip) for the sample exchange… implementing an unpacker for some 3rd party stuff isn’t a way to go…

Maybe you didn’t understood me properly…I had in mind not an exchange :slight_smile: My question is:can you handle files with .dta extension? I’m a virus helper on a Russian forum and i can send you examples with such extension sometimes. I’ve got 1 sample already :slight_smile:

P.S i’ve sent the file on virusavast.com

well, .dta as an extension may stand for many different file formats… we would prefer some standard file formats also for single file analysis, not only for regular sample exchange… :wink:

O,i’ve understood :slight_smile: well,i’ve sent an archive with avz00002.dta file. Try to handle a file and please give me feedback about your successful (no doubt) result ;D
