[QUOTE="struppigel, post: 997847, member: 86910"] I am not sure what we are currently discussing about or why. There is a difference between saying vs It was the former that I responded to and it had been stated by MacDefender but is now removed/corrected. Regarding the reponse times of F-Secure [USER=91446]@Anthony Qian[/USER] I have no idea how other companies do the sample processing. I can only tell you my perspective and that is: Depending on the file, it might either take 10 minutes, 2 days or 2 weeks to properly analyse it. That highly depends how the sample looks like. That means response times that are below 24 hours are not always possible while also providing a proper analysis. They are only possible if done with shortcuts. E.g. someone may respond at the same day with an intial verdict and only correct later if it turns out to be a different one. Or the analysis is done sloppy, which can happen if there is a response time-limit imposed on the analyst. Or it was not handled by an analyst at all. That is certainly a contributor to longer response times. [/QUOTE]
