2. Click Report Verdict as Incorrect ().
3. Under Suggested Verdict, suggest a new verdict.
4. Under Comment, enter any details that can help us to better understand why you disagree with the verdict.

   The threat team will perform further analysis of the sample to determine whether it should be reclassified.
