Forum Category: Malware Analysis Vs. False Positives

[sweidre]

Hi,

We have for the moment a forum category called "False Postives", frequently used! But a malicious file found by any AV product should still be named & treated as "Malware", until the file has been proper analysed! First when analysis has been done, the file might be called "False Postive" or remain as "Malicious".

Therefore the category "False Positives" should, in my mind, change name into "Malware Analysis"!

Cheers,

PS. By security reason, a Malicious file should not be uploaded to the forum for analysis. Malicious files should be submitted as attachments of emails addressed to support@samples.immunet.com for analysis in zip- or 7z- formats! DS
