Slow vps updates for submitted virus

Viruses and worms
1

Hi,
from yesterday in the morning i found some viruses that are not
detected by Avast ( linux and Windows version - def 14031000 and
14031003 also ) and i reported these with the
tool /var/lib/avast/Setup/submit and with the link
http://www.avast.com/contact-us.php?subject=VIRUS-FILE .

Today 24 hours later the virus is not detected yet :frowning: .

The virus arrives by mail with a double extension like:

unzip -l zip1.zip

Archive: zip1.zip
Length Date Time Name

300245 03-10-2014 10:14 IMG_07089_10032014.JPG.exe

300245 1 file

Is it possible to have an option to block double extensions or activate
a more aggressive heuristic ( of corse also for linux avast 1.0.6 )?

These things happen very often :frowning: and the time between the submission of a news virus and the detection by the news vps cannot happen in 2/4 days or the infection are propagated.

Any suggestion how to report the virus more quickly ?

Thanks
