submit a new virus to avast ?

hello,
I do not use avast but i want to submit new virus.
what i can do this url to upload virus or e-mail.
thank you.

How do you know avast doesn’t detect it already ?

What information do you have on this ‘new’ virus ?

Send the sample to virus@avast.com zipped and password protected with the password in email body (virus will be fine), a link to this topic might help and undetected malware in the subject.

Help! DavidR

How I can send files or archives to virus@avast by email? because I try several times through gmail, and can’t send, it’s tell me that I cant send executable files through email for security or prevent possible infection. Also i send the file through avast chest and the TrojanDownloader:Win32/Renos.JS still undetectable.

Help please!!!

My answer was for someone ‘not using avast’ you can send the file from the chest, having first added it to the user files section of the chest.

Add the file to the User Files (File, Add) section of the avast chest (if it isn’t already in the chest) where it can do no harm and send it from there. A copy of the file/s will remain in the original location, so you will need to take further action and can remove/rename that.

Send it from the User Files section of the chest (select the file, right click, email to Alwil Software). It will be uploaded (not actually emailed) to avast when the next avast auto (or manual) update is done.

You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner and report the findings here the URL in the Address bar of the VT results page.

Only 4/41 antivirus detected it! (Authentium,F-Prot,Kaspersky,Panda)

Still worth submitting even with a low hit rate at virustotal.

These fake alerts/rogue security applications are generally well covered, unfortunately there are just so many variants trying to avoid detection.

Try this tool (if you haven’t already got it) as it was originally designed to hunt our rogue programs and has developed from that.
