[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1082709"] So let me get this straight, its standard procedure to just execute something on your live machine and just let it run to see if its malicious or not? Are you serious right now? Nothing like misleading users with bogus crap for whatever reason. Certainly not responsible to set something loose on a live environment, network, or even server just to see what it does. Sure some malware are sandbox aware and will not run. Yes samples can be delayed or communicate with a command and control to drop the actual payload. Does not mean the file can not be analyzed in a safe environment with indicators. Im not sure what kind of "expert" you are talking too, but they are making no sense what so ever. I hope and pray that any average users out there do not read this thread that is now being riddled with nonsense and get derailed into misleading information. [/QUOTE]
