Appeal contacts

Choose a channel for the type of detection you want reviewed. Contact availability and acceptance are controlled by the vendor.

How to request a review

These are general preparation steps. The listed contact’s own instructions take priority.

  1. Use the vendor-published contact below to ask for a review of the exact VirusTotal detection.
  2. Include the affected URL or indicator, the VirusTotal report link, the engine label and a concise explanation with ownership or cleanup evidence.
  3. This is a general contact route; ask the recipient to direct your case to the team responsible for this verdict.

Scope & contact notes

  • RiskAnalytics states that AutoShun and Malware Domains have been shut off and incorporated into ShadowNet. The legacy name can still appear in VirusTotal documentation.
  • The published support mailbox is a fallback for questions about a legacy verdict, not a confirmed active delisting form.
