A couple two or three days ago I posted to a thread started by al968 asking for suggestions to improve the Virus submitting process.
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=26304.msg215162#msg215162
When I returned a few hrs later to check to see if there were any responses, my post had been deleted (removed) completely.
No explanation, no PM, nothing–just gone ? My suggestion was only that the system could have a better notification after hitting the Update (send forward function). The only thing that I can even GUESS- is that I did reference in the post the current version # of Avast’s definitions. That might have broken a rule or maybe it considered was considered too descriptive ?
I was so proud to have found a zero day Trojan and, in fact, I was the first person to scan and alert Virus Total as it had never been submitted prior. BTW, it only took Avast 18 hrs to include it in definition after I sent it in. I think that’s excellent.
I have notified well more than a dozen valid files to Avast that were not in their definition over this past year or so, and have always tried hard to be a good net citizen on this forum board. If I did break a rule-- I apologize. A response post or private message would have been appreciated as no one like to see their posts removed.
Resolved–Thank you kindly
