If Anyone can help. I have the following virus Win32:Porn Ad[Adw]safely locked away in the Chest,and I’m not sure on what steps to take.I’ve tried to email it as suggested but I don’t know the Address to e-mail it to.I’ve taken the necessary steps to preform this task(e mailing it)but on the last step where I am to send it I dont have an address to fill in the field.If someone can help me I sure would appreciate it very much.Look forward to hearing from someone.
You only send a virus that isn’t in the virus database yet.And the one you have in the chest already is in the database(at least i think so), so i would just delete it if i were you.Otherwise the address is virus@avast.com but you have to compress it and password protect the file and write the password in the email(so alwil can open the file of course).
P.S:Welcome to the forum!
Cheers

From Chest you need to fill the SMTP tab of settings to send emails to Alwil for analysis.
Right click the ‘a’ blue icon > Program settings > SMTP tab.
Only send if you think the file is a false positive (a clean file that is being detected as infected)
