    "especially when malware changes by the minute

    — not by the day, by the minute!“

    Also, "a database containing every version of malware is infeasible; it gets too large to be of practical use. "

    You're not really reading my replies, are you?
    Most likely there was no infection at all.
    Positive results by 3 less known security engines means nothing.
    If you had 37 positives out of 40 then you could be sure the file was infected.
