How to request a review
File review
Skyhigh's Secure Web Gateway documentation retains the McAfee Gateway Anti-Malware terminology while documenting the current Skyhigh engine. The gateway team is a documented related route for a legacy gateway detection.
- Email the Skyhigh gateway anti-malware contact listed by VirusTotal and quote the exact historical McAfee Gateway Edition engine name.
- Provide the VirusTotal report URL, file SHA-256, detection label and reason for requesting a review.
- Ask the team to confirm ownership of the legacy result before supplying additional samples.
- This is a successor-routing suggestion based on product documentation; a direct VirusTotal alias migration from mcafee_gw_edition to Skyhigh was not independently confirmed.
- Keep this historical entry distinct from consumer McAfee and Trellix endpoint detections.
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.
