[CLOSED] Unable to submit malware

Post by alexjkk »

Hello, you're probably not aware of this fact, but most popular online mail services like Outlook.com and even Gmail.com do NOT allow people to send executable files, even if they are added to a "zip" archive and protected with a password. As such, I am unable to submit valid malware samples such as this one (an executable disguised as Word Document), which I have uploaded to VirusTotal:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/2b03 ... 409079155/

I would kindly suggest you to completely re-consider your "malware submission" strategy and allow the direct submission of malware samples through the Cloud Antivirus client or through the special website form (like other antimalware product developers allow you to do).
