title: How to remove malware flag from virustotal.com
body: <p>I wrote own code, using C++ Win32 API and boost library. The code compiles to EXE application for windows. I can guarantee that it is malware free, but virustotal.com reports that 9 of 56 antivirus softwares will recognize the exe file as having malware.</p>
  
  <p>I see no reason why this should happen. I noticed some time ago that compiling things with LCC-Win32 compiler raised some malware flags while compiling the same code with Visual C++ produced a clean EXE file, however now even Visual C++ produces EXE file which flags as malware at virustotal.</p>
  
  <p>I can say that my build computer is not infected, since if I compile just Hello World code, or some other bigger application, then virustotal doesn't report any malware at all for the newly compiled exe, which it would if some crazy stuff happened behind my back.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get rid of the incorrect malware flags reported by virustotal? I mean, without changing my code (since I know it's clean, I wrote it). Can I report somewhere at virustotal that their virus test is broken? Do I have to contact all the antivirus companies whose antivirus triggers the flag individually, one by one, by email, asking them to fix their antivirus software? Is there any place where one can report a false positive?</p>
