How often can I rescan the same IP Address ?
We cache reports of a scan for 3 days, after the 3 days if you will rescan the website, its report will be updated. This is done to avoid the scan of the same website for too many times in the same day and to not stress the engines in use.
My IP Address is listed as detected in the scan report, what can I do ?
You should check the website of the scan engine(s) where your IP Address is listed as infected and see what there is wrote in their report. We can not unlist your IP Address from the scan engine(s) present in our service, you will have to contact them by yourself and you can ask for a removal.
