Virustotal overloaded?
I saw this tonight when I went to check the detection status of the now infamous ie7.0exe.
Putting aside a delay of between 8 and 12 minutes, it is well and truly time that Virustotal should have fixed their site to work with IE7 - check out the mess made of the last few scan entries.
To say that I am disappointed by the lack of detection is an understatement. Reality is that malware sent via spam mail can be spread around the world within hours, therefore antispyware and antivirus must react within hours. Such bad results, 12 hours or so after *I* first saw the emails, is simply not good enough. Some of the Web sites hosting the malware (hacked sites) were shut down faster than the AV companies have responded.
virus.org, on the other hand, is far neater, and includes Trendmicro, a primary focus of mine when dealing with false positives or failures to detect malware.
