HOW TO REPORT MALWARE OR FALSE POSITIVES TO MULTIPLE ANTIVIRUS VENDORS

2021-08-282021-10-25 Gizmo Editor 10155 Views 5 Comments


> Submitting malware samples to all vendors helps protect nearly all Internet
> users.

This article contains a list of every respectable Windows anti-malware vendor,
with a signature based product, that I am aware of. Thus this list, in addition
to showing you how to easily submit malware or false positives to all of them,
also serves as a reference for anti-malware products which are confirmed to be
legitimate.

That said, I make no statement as to whether any particular anti-malware vendor
is good at detecting malware. By submitting malware to all of them, you can help
protect nearly all internet users, regardless of which product they choose to
use for protection.



In addition, please read the section about How You Can Help if you are
knowledgeable about anti-malware vendors, or if you find something missing or
incorrect in this list.

INDEX

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. How to Easily Prepare to Submit the Samples

A. Make Sure an Email Client Is Set Up Properly
B. Put Samples in Compressed Files

2. Easily Submit Malware to All Vendors
3. Criteria Used for the List
4. List of All Vendors
5. How You Can Help





1. HOW TO EASILY PREPARE TO SUBMIT THE SAMPLES

A. MAKE SURE AN EMAIL CLIENT IS SET UP PROPERLY

To follow the advice in this article, you will need to have an email client,
such as Thunderbird or Outlook, set up and configured. If you have not already
set this up, please do so now. For instructions on how to set up Outlook, please
see this page; and for instructions on how to set up Thunderbird, please see
this page.

You will also have to be using an email service which has been confirmed to work
for this process. The only one that I am currently aware of is AOL.

By the way, I have confirmed that Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, GMX, and FastMail do
not work.

In terms of the ones that do work, please note that sometimes they will force
you to answer a puzzle to prove that you are human, or even to change your
password. This is because it seems like what you’re doing constitutes unusual
account activity. This is not really a problem. I’m just letting you know ahead
of time so you’re not surprised.

B. PUT SAMPLES IN COMPRESSED FILES

If you’re planning on submitting a suspicious file, or multiple files, for
analysis, the easiest way to do this is to install a program called 7-Zip. Once
it’s installed, right click on the sample you would like to submit and select
“7-Zip”. If you are submitting multiple samples, highlight all and right click
on them, then choose “7-Zip”. Submitting multiple samples at once can save you a
lot of time if you have a lot of samples to submit. However, I would suggest
that you do not submit more than 5 at a time as some vendors will begin to
reject the samples.

After selecting “7-Zip”, choose “Add to archive…” from the context menu. It will
open up a window. In the option for “Archive format”, make sure it is set to
zip. Enter “infected” (without the quotes) as the password, then select OK. Now
you should have the samples in a password protected zip file.




2. EASILY SUBMIT MALWARE TO ALL VENDORS

One of the main purposes of this article is to make it as easy as possible for
anyone who comes across malware to submit it to all security vendors in as few
steps as possible. Also, don’t worry about duplicate submissions. This has been
taken care of for this list.

You can submit the password protected zip file by clicking on this link. (Attach
the zip file after the email client opens and then click Send). Webmail users
should right click on it and choose to save the email addresses. Then paste them
in the contact line of your email.

If the email is not delivered correctly, please see my comments in Section
(1)(A) to make sure that you are not using one of the email services which do
not work with this list.

At this point, you’ve submitted the samples to all vendors below marked with a V
. This does include most of them. Also, if a message failed to be delivered to
one or more of the vendors, which does happen sometimes, you can manually submit
it to them if you like. Also, if you wish, you can submit the samples to the
rest of the vendors who have submission information. Each of these vendors is
marked with a A . However, this will be much more time consuming as you will
have to manually submit the samples to each vendor individually. Note that for
online forms, unless instructed otherwise, you should upload the file directly
and not in a compressed file.




3. CRITERIA USED FOR THE LIST

My only criteria for adding vendors to this list are that they have to have
their own website, which must provide contact information. Also, the vendors
must have a signature based anti-malware product, not have a bad reputation, and
their main site cannot be rated orange or red by Web Of Trust – which is a
criterion imposed by Gizmo’s Best.

If I say that I have confirmed something in the list, it means that I have
either been provided with that information directly from the vendor or from some
other official source with connections to the vendor. The only way it can be
incorrect is that the vendor now provides a particular submission option which
they previously did not.




4. LIST OF ALL VENDORS

Unless otherwise noted, when submitting a sample via an online form you should
upload the file directly and not in a compressed file. Also, unless otherwise
noted, submissions by email should be put in a password protected zip file. Just
click on the link for the vendor you wish to submit it to and it will
automatically fill the necessary details into your default email client. Then
all you need to do is to attach the zip file and click Send. In any cases where
the vendors require different steps, they are clearly noted.

V This symbol denotes the vendors who have been included in the mailing lists in
Section 2 above.

A This symbol denotes the vendors who have alternate options for submitting
samples, as they do not have an email address for submission.

O This symbol denotes the vendors who use the signatures of other vendors. Thus
you don’t need to submit samples to them directly.

* This symbol means that there is incomplete information. If you have any
information, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If a vendor is unmarked, this indicates that I currently have no information
about how to submit malware to them.

The vendors are arranged alphabetically in this list. To jump to the vendor
you’re interested in, please click on the initial letter of the vendor’s name
below.

A B C D E F G H I K L M N P Q R S T U V W X Z

Please note that some products are known by multiple names. Thus, if you are
having trouble finding a particular vendor, or product, it will likely be very
helpful to search for them using Ctrl-F.

5. HOW YOU CAN HELP

If you find that there is a vendor which I have left out of the list, please
leave a comment about this so I can investigate. Also, if you find that any of
the information I provide is incorrect, please let me know immediately so that I
can fix this. This includes circumstances in which, I say I have confirmed that
an option does not exist when it now does; information that does not work as
promised; vendors that no longer support their product, etc. I will personally
look into all information provided before adding it to the article. Starred
products are those that I currently realize are in need of information. I could
really use your help with those vendors as well.

That said, because of the strict requirements I have imposed for stating that I
have confirmed that something does not exist, I will not be able to say that I
have confirmed that submission options do not exist just because someone states
it in the comments. I hope you understand that I am not insulting anyone but
just being very cautious before adding information to the article. However,
things like submission links or email addresses I can investigate myself and
add. I only need an official response for confirming that something does not
currently exist.

I really do need your help to maintain this article as this is way too much
information for me to investigate on my own. Keeping this list up to date would
require an astronomical amount of work, and I’m already very busy with many
other projects. I thank you for whatever time you can contribute to make this
the best malware submission article on the internet.

5 THOUGHTS ON “HOW TO REPORT MALWARE OR FALSE POSITIVES TO MULTIPLE ANTIVIRUS
VENDORS”

   There’s a problem with the two ‘mailto’ links in step 2: The ‘7z’ link only
   results in 7 recipients whereas the ‘zip’ link has many more.

   I used both of the email links to submit suspected malware to multiple
   vendors. I compressed the infected file inside a password protected 7z file
   and also used the file name encryption feature.
   
   I used a paid Office 365 account to send the email to avoid issues sending
   from free email accounts.

   That’s valuable feedback Ben Dubin.
   
   The rejected and non-working email addresses have now been removed from the
   mailto list in this article.
   
   The F-Secure web reporting link has now been added to the table.
