Spyware & Virus Submission

Customers can submit virus samples directly to CA for analysis. Users with a suspicious file can submit that file directly to CA's in-house system, which is designed specifically to handle virus submissions and is monitored 24x7 by our team of anti-virus researchers.

Suspect files are quickly classified, reducing the time it takes to get virus samples from the public domain to our antivirus labs. After submission, the system can automatically send email responses to let users know virus test results almost immediately.
