I went to this site, https://submit.symantec.com/websubmit/basic.cgi
Once I did, I put in all the in the information, I tried to publish it and upload it and I attempted to send a .exe and it would not permit it. I put it into a .rar file, and I got two e mails back telling me that it was an RAR file. What went wrong here? I do not need to know that it was an .rar. I need to know what it is so I can remove it...The below listed information is of no use to me. I wanted to submit avp.exe and I was not able to.
