Interesting.

I got an issue with Gmail detecting my .zip attachments to contain .exe files. So I'm unable to send anything to vendors. :(
You can submit as 7zip with the default password

A guy from Virustotal said that "If you send the file to VirusTotal we share it with the AV vendors. ", it's convenience, but some vendors seem don't care( they do not update or simply think sample "clean", because I check the same sample 2 times a week)
