How to submit files to Anti-Virus Vendors


Lite

Anti-Virus software’s reliability and accuracy depends on how many malware samples a vendor can receive and process in the working day. Vendors have there own methods of obtaining malware samples be it from other vendors (as part of an exchange program) or from various collectors (be they employed or independent). However despite these various collection programs it is impossible to detect all viruses and like. So it’s up to the users of said software to send files they believe could be malware. Instead of complaining “Scanner X didn’t detect malware Y send the sample to ALL vendors so they can add it to the detection database (often known as signatures).

Here is a list of submission methods for most of the known Anti-Virus vendors.

Thanks!

I think alot of vendors have these submission forms. Maybe if we can get a list of these i can add them to the first post? The advtange of the emails is that you only have to submit the file once and it goes to all vendors :P
