Look i have a litle problem. I have some installers whith cuestionable procedure. I think they are suspicious. I check they whith all my security products. Zemana, Emsi, Norton, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Bullguard. They say are clean. A years ago i send this installer as a sample to see if have malware to bitdefender and emsi. They say all are clean. The files are very heavy and i want to sent again. I hav reasons to supspect the software are "pirate" but i need to my work and never see a way to purchase by my own. The software in cuestion is Loquendo Voice Carlos and Carmen Voice and was provide by the teachie guy in my work.
2 Cuestions for u
1.- How can i submit a large sample to av companies to investigate if that software are mailicious?
2.- How can i purchase that software on mexico?
I does not have this software in my principal laptop but sometimes i need it because microsoft voices are terrible to reading books and i have to read too much

First of all piracy is not allowed here. And if you don't know if the software is pirated or not, you can always contact its developer by going to its website.
My advice, "Never ever trust any crack or keygen". Just because AVs are not detecting it as malware, it doesn't mean it's safe. Maybe it's just a trojan downloader, just saying :)

It's probably a crack. But that doesn't necessarily mean the files contain malware. That could explain why the antiviruses have not added signatures for your submission. Instead of submitting the whole installer to the AV labs, submit only the cracks (files that must replace the original files).

Most AVs would probably label this as "Hack Tool" which is technically not malware but is still risky to use. If the AVs do not detect any malicious code in your files then it's probably safe to use. If you're still scared of using it then just go out and buy your own copy of it

If it's an installer use UniExtractor to extract all files without installing anything, then look for each executable files and see what it looks like on VirusTotal.

Don't get me wrong I understand your curiosity, but hear me and know that "only you" truly know the source
of those files. If they are from a pirate site, or have been re-packed then they very well may contain malware or exhibit malicious behavior.
Don't steal software no matter the reasoning, would be what I want to get across here the most, the second is to download
any software directly from the publisher if available. And the last is to trust your gut, if the site looks questionable, why would you assume the product is any better ? so trust your gut, and take the time to seek honest answers not just convenient ones (y) PeAcE
......and stay safe my MT Family.

In my opinion (and i don't know much) i think you already know the answer, just ask yourself how you acquired the software ? I can't help with how to submit files or anything else i'm afraid.

Piracy not allowed as "per forum rules".
You are on your own.

I think this a bit harsh, i believe that @Aktiffiso is genuinely trying to do the right thing here, yes it may be pirated and i think he realises his errors now therefore i think if he is asking for genuine help, then those with the knowledge should see that and try to help him, the past is the past and everyone deserves a second chance and i hope that the OP takes onboard @_CyberGhosT_ thoughts. (Just for the record @_CyberGhosT_ , typing your name is an absolute bugger, lol) :p

Although anti-malware analysis has shown that, with a good approximation, those files are clean, you will never have the absolute certainty of that because you have to reverse the code by analyzing any indicators of impairment.

Simply, they are not legitimate files and this should already be a good reason to get rid of them.
