What Do I Do If an Engine Detects My Safe File as a Threat?

Metascan Online, the fastest cloud-based multi-scanning solution, not only increases the likelihood of detecting malware but also provides a mechanism for identifying false positives based on the detection ratio among 40 anti-malware engines.

Metascan Online automatically shares potential false positives with the anti-malware engine vendor when the detection ratio is lower than a specified threshold (unless you are using the private API or host Metascan yourself). However, if you believe any of the engines falsely detected your file as a threat, you can help the vendor improve their detection rates by submitting your file to the vendor manually using the links below:
