I honestly don't see the purpose of this topic as it achieves little (or the other one that got closed).
I also don't see how the average user would be coming into regular normal browsing contact with these, which you are obviously seeking out. Most regular users aren't seeking out malware in this way.
Yes, they could get tricked into downloading something from a search result, but how would this topic help them in any case, it doesn't.
As you have already said the VT links are of little use to the virus labs team, they need the samples to analyse.
<snip>
Although I was alerted that just posting virustotal links without further information about the origin of the file, behavior, etc. is just adding manual work for the virus analysts that are receiving 50.000 samples per day.
They have quite some honeypots and they're not really worried about the links posted here.
<snip>
So it is clear that the sample and information needs to be sent to avast, rather than posting VT links and you can't go posting links to file sharing sites or the origin of the sample, for the very reason the other topic was closed.
That is why I feel this is pointless in this context, not to forget as polonus mentioned, it shouldn't be post and forget, but go back and confirm if the original post is now detected or a false positive.
<snip>
But the folks that report missed samples through VT links, should check there again for more recent results, also sometimes results are found to be false positives, see the link Left123 gave above. So do your homework properly.
<snip>
Over time (now on 4 pages) all you see are missed samples and zero input on samples now added to the database or considered to have been false positives, or all you see is an unbalanced/one sided view.
As you say "
If you want to get frightened, here we goes..." the object surely is not to frighten users
If it is to improve detections, then you need to send the samples and information to avast as the VT results in isolation are pretty worthless. Especially if those who post them don't follow up to see if they are added or are FPs.
