Because you upload files (maybe private ones) to a 3rd party?
- mynameisvlad 6y agoI mean, you don't have to if you don't want to. Disable automatic uploads, and don't upload them yourself. There, your problem is solved. Those that want to contribute their samples in order to have them white/blacklisted can, but just because a feature is there doesn't mean somebody is forcing you to do it, nor that it's inherently bad because you're willingly uploading files to a 3rd party. How, exactly, would you expect AV/security companies to be able to analyze samples that are actually relevant to their customers if they're not submitted? They would never be able to find nearly as much malware on their own.
