contain malware, worms, or other malicious code.
Procedure

- Specify at least one of the following detection types under the
Specify at least one detection type section.

drop-down list to perform further observation and analysis on the
submitted files.Whether a file is suspicious is determined by the Advanced Threat Scan Engine based on the scan results.Virtual Analyzer performs observation and analysis on samples in a closed environment. It takes 3 minutes on average to analyze and identify the risk of a file, and the time could be as long as 30 minutes for some files.
