I found this site with contact information for 42 of the major and some minor Antivirus/Security Software companies to report potential or confirmed false positives. I think it would be useful to all members, as it is pretty comprehensive.

All credit goes to OPSWAT and their blog post. I thought I would pass it along.

Nice find @soccer97, thanks for sharing :)
Maybe @Klipsh might want to add the "new" ones on this list (behind that hyperlink) to the Hub SUD list? :)

Eh, could make it a sticky. Lots of posts in different AV/Security Product forums asking how to report. Then again, some products offer in program submission or a simple email address. I just thought it would maybe cut down on clutter and duplicate posts. I found it thanks to everyone who replied to one of my posts on interpreting Virustotal results.

There is an sticky list at least at the Hub, removed but added again in the past on users request. But I'm sure the Mods (which can edit such things only) will take notice of your list kindly provided and may update the sticky list(s).
