Sending virus files to AWIL Software

MadGamer · 23-10-2006, 15:15

Hi people, i want to send some files to AWIL software so that they are aware and can update the virus definations, but everytime i go into the chest and select the said file or files i get a message that the SMTP settings need to be configured, anyone know what these are? I have looked on their support forums, but cant find anything, and i have tried Google.

Im using Avast 4.7 Home Edition.

First things first, are you sure it's a virus? If so, how? If you're certain, then I would submit it to Virus Total and see what you get back

If other vendors identify it as being infected yet Avast doesn't, then submit it via email. According to their COntacts page (http://www.avast.com/eng/how-to-cont...-software.html)
