What is cryptic stuff between BEGIN CERT and END CERT (those lines included)
is the text representation of the certificate, so-called PEM format. That
should work for the AV Web interface. If that doesn't work, you might refer
to the documentation for troubleshooting - might be problems with format as
well as trust to the issuing CA.
