We have many ways to check the files if their safe.

Mainly what we do is:
1: We have an "fake" computer running. (Sandboxie/VMware)
2: There we can decompile the program and check for imports and what the code looks like.
3: We check strings with a tool called: WinRar*, which allows us to read over the strings. (Links and such)
4: Then we check the scans, if there's a high detection rate. We investigate the file closer, if not. We just do a "quick" check to see that everything looks okay.
5: We start the program and blocks internet connection. And we can then see if there was anything else "special" that we missed.

NOT: It's not done in the order listed

Wouldn't that get annoying?

Srs guys don't share our methods, idiots will read this and find ways to get around it.

If they are competent enough to find a way to get around the checks you probably weren't going find anything malicious in the first place.
