[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 977895, member: 83059"] It’s not a bad habit, just a few things to keep in mind: [LIST] [*]As I mentioned, some of the beta/research AI engines have a lot of false positives [*]Most engines have their cloud component turned off, which means they’ll have poor detections. In particular, Microsoft Defender and Avira products (including F-Secure) are more likely to falsely say Clean when the actual product would have detected something via the cloud [*]Security researchers with special VT accounts can download samples that you upload. So don’t upload anything assuming that it’s private [/LIST] I would pay attention to the Kaspersky and ESET results. Those are two of the best static scanners out there and the chances of malware getting past them is very slim. [/QUOTE]
