To whom it may concern:

The Process Explorer "Virus Total" column functionality is not working correctly. Most of the processes are displaying "Unknown" even after clicking the check menu item 'Options -> VirusTotal.com -> Submit Unknown Executables'.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Process Explorer with no success. Multiple antivirus scans from several different providers have come back negative.

What is causing this issue and when will it be resolved?

    VirusTotal

    Similar problems with Autoruns and Winja.

    And some time later (but I had to cancel because it was taking too long.)

    Anybody feeling like contacting VirusTotal, I do not know. Is it that this way of accessing their service can cause overload on their systems and they want us out? I am clueless.

    Same problem. Yesterday it listed all processes as "unsupported device" or some such. Today, after "hash submitted" all processes are listed as "unknown"
