How to request a review

File review

VirusTotal introduced AVware as a BluePex antivirus. BluePex publishes a general business contact that can be asked to route a historical AVware review.

  1. Use the official general contact below and ask for the team responsible for AVware's VirusTotal result.
  2. Include the VirusTotal report URL, file SHA-256, exact detection label and software publisher. Explain why the finding appears incorrect.
  3. Ask for a review and follow the support team's instructions for any additional evidence or samples.
  • This is a general contact or support route; a dedicated public false-positive process was not confirmed.
  • This is a historical engine name; the current contact is a general business inquiry address, not a confirmed AVware appeal desk.
  • The official contact information is in Portuguese.

Scope & contact notes

  • Listed in VirusTotal search-prefix documentation but absent from the contributor roster snapshot; this is not proof the engine is currently active.
  • This name appears in a VirusTotal engine-prefix list or contact table but is not matched to a current contributor entry. Current engine activity is unconfirmed.
