I am a Chinese user. I have been using avast! for several months and found that avast! cannot detect some virus popular in China (most of the virus I have got can be killed ;D). I am willing to send these suspecious files to avast!, but Gmail doesn’t allow me to send attachments with .exe file, even though I have packed it with winzip and set password.
I also use another mailbox “sohu” and send several files to virus@avast.com, but I never receive a reply. Thus, I’m not sure whether you can receive my email. Is there a better way to report new virus? Can I attach these suspecious files here?
I’m sorry for my poor English. Hope you can understand what I said.
You can use Alwil FTP server as a second way to transfer files.
Upload them to ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming (please, note that you won’t have READ access to the ftp server, just write - so you won’t even be able to see what you’ve just uploaded).
They usually does not answer the mail… sometimes 4000 per day…
So, they try to answer updating the virus database.
For sure we can. You’re English is perfect. Welcome to avast forums 8)
