Are this way of submitting really working? I can't see any information while updating that the files are being uploaded ???

I also hope this works, i have told customers to do so...

Not all crack.exe and keygen.exe are real malware.

Some of them are just cracks and keygens

If you open the UI, and the update progress, you should see the submission. (Like my image, a site blocked by network shield being submitted, works when you submit a file too.)

Sure. But how to separate ones from the others? There isn't a trustable source of keygens and cracks, is there?

Of course not ... by their very nature they are illegal and therefore not to be trusted.

I've submitted the files by Chest.
Nothing is being detected.
WHY?  >:(

A² gave me that much false positives in the past.
Once, I need to restore from a partition backup.
Total disaster.

Hi Asyn,

+ one
A² has been found to have quite some FP's. There scanner is good, so it can find a lot but always check these are really "Schädlinge"....

Strange...?? Using it (free version only + hijack free) for about 6 month now, without any fp..!!
Also used it to remove different kind of malware on customers machines, always did it's job.
How long ago did you use it?
