Actually it should be submitted to Virus Total. The suspect will be tested against 18
different AV vendor's scanners and the suspect is distributed to all member vendors as well
This includes Symantec and McAfee.

Based upon the resultant report, the submitter will know if it is truly new, if it is an
infector and what AV vendor's software recognizes the submission.
