I have many viruses that PcTools Antivirus is not detecting. Where can I submit them ?
Is there any webpage or e-mail address?

Hi
There are two places:
www.pctools.com/mrc/submit - PC Tools Malware Research Centre
www.threatexpert.com/submit.aspx - PC Tools ThreatExpert engine
You can also archive them in a zip file (use a password like infected) and email them to support@pctools.com with the password in the text of the email.
Hope that helps

Hi
How did you zip the files? Just a plain zip with a password?

Hi
Can you try it with .zip not .rar?

Bump.

Some sort of answer to this would be appreciated. Submitting samples in bulk to ThreatExpert is not exactly practical right now.
