How to Report Malware or False Positives to Multiple Antivirus Vendors

Hello, I’ve written an article that explains How to Report Malware or False Positives to Multiple Antivirus Vendors.

It is meant to be a comprehensive list of all reputable vendors who produce products that rely on signature detection, in some way, in order to detect all manner of malware. What I have done is investigate how to submit malware, and false positives to all of them. I have then taken this information and created a mailing list that allows you, with a few clicks, to submit malware to the majority of all of the anti-malware vendors in the world. At least that is the idea. You can also submit the malware to the reset of them manually, but the idea is to make it as easy as possible to submit it to as many as possible with as little work as possible.

Please use this article to submit any malware you find to as many vendors as possible so we can help to make the online world a safer place. Also, for anyone who is able, and willing, to help I could use your help to improve this list. Please provide me with whatever feedback you have about the article and help me to make the information provided as accurate, and poignant, as possible. It would be most effective to leave the feedback in the comments section of the article so I have all of the feedback in one place. This will help me to best utilize it to improve the article.

Thank you.

Thanks Chiron, good work :slight_smile:

Thanks for your efforts, I’m sure it will be a useful resource.

Thank you.

Please let me know if you have any questions about it or have any new information you would like to see added.

Hi Tech and DavidR,

I think Chiron deserves a sticky for his efforts here,

polonus

Not in my power, but you know how I feel about stickies, we have enough anyway and if anything there are a few that could be unstickied as they are very old.

Excellent reference, thanks. :slight_smile:

Hi DavidR,

Well I feel for your point of view.
Maybe we can incorporate it in an existing sticky
or maybe you can come up with another suggestion/alternative?

The only drawback is that when users look for the posting e.g. that link,
it has become invisible soon. If you know where to look then that is easier.

Also remember there aren’t a lot of users that use the forum search form like it should.
And that is also true for" little old me", I sometimes forget about it too,

polonus,
The link has already been added to my favorites and will be passed along whenever it’s needed.
I suggest you do the same. :slight_smile:

Hi bob3160,

Off course, bookmarked as it went into “my linkies”.
Knew you were a connoisseur of good links, :wink:

Chiron, seems you have opened a new thread in Comodo forum to add the not very common antivirus too.
Thanks for your effort.
