thank you for your free antivirus!
many security corporation supply the sample submit system on the webpage,which is simply convenient for users to submit samples.so could avast give us a convenient way to submit samples.
I’m seconding this strongly. 
As of now, there is no prominently displayed method to send malware samples to AVAST Software. I think there really should be a place somewhere on the avast! website where people can easily submit malware for analysis and infection inspection.
You can still send AVAST Software malware samples through the avast! program itself though, by adding the infected files to avast!'s Virus Chest. After adding them, submit the files by context clicking them and clicking Submit to virus lab…, then simply complete the form. Despite this method being available, I still think there should be a simple way to send files through the avast! website as well.
It has a way of submitting from the avast chest, direct upload to avast.
You can also send them to virus (at) avast (dot) com, in a password protected zip/archive file attached to the email, put Undetected Malware in the subject and the password in the email body along with some information about it.
I agree, put a malware submission in the webpage will help,
In that way, i’ll be easier send suspected files…
Regards
agreed, a dedicated malware/FP submission site would be a great idea
I honestly don’t see how having a web page to submit would be any easier/quicker than submission from the chest.
+1
For avast users such page would have little benefits, but there are many people who submit malware to the vendors which they don’t use.
Yes there is a e-mail address, but submission via the web is much easier than via the e-mail.
I believe web-based submission system increases avast! protection. More samples, more accurate detection.
yep, for people not using avast its easier and with FP’s for example, id rather not have to send it to the chest just so i can submit it, same with malware, i sometimes just want to keep the file locked but not in the chest
Have you read the Title of the Topic, suggestion:could avast build up a web page for users to submit the virus
This implies it is for avast users and that is the reasoning behind my comments…
thats look at it from a very narrow perspective considering what is being asked for, its not like outside users couldnt possibly use it…
I try to not go off at a tangent and stick to the question asked.
its not really a tangent to say a web submission site logically could be used by anyone… i dont think ive heard of any AV vendor that has a web submission site and ONLY allows its current users with installed versions of their program to submit things.
plus the example i gave earlier shows a scenario where a current user could use this and not want to do the chest submission method.
It doesn’t really matter what we think, but what avast thinks and this has been suggested many times in the past as Tech mentioned and all that has happened is for the addition of the submission from the chest.
Se we can talk semantics or purposes as much as we like if avast don’t feel that it is an essential function then it will be on a back burned for the future perhaps.
well thats exactly why im trying to show this is a good idea, so that it does get created. i dont see why u think this would be a negative idea that avast shouldnt even look at again, afterall the point of this thread is to be so avast considers the idea once more.
Nobody of Avast team give a response about this suggestion.
The system that Avira have is very good, and you get to see the analysis result…
from what i see, the avast team seems to be MIA, many threads are going without any response from the avast team…
ye, the time i used avira’s system it was pretty good, my favourite one tho would have to be F-Secure’s, a very well done submission system
I’d like to say that I’d welcome some form of system like this.
Yeah, I know we already have other ways of doing it, and Avast probably won’t budge on it, but I think it’s one of those things that a large A/V company should have. Avast isn’t large by any stretch of the imagination, but the user base is.
