Virus File Scanner
Have you ever had an anti-virus or firewall tell you a file was malware, but you didn’t really think so? It is a situation I encounter from time to time. Sometimes, one security program will say one by another company is bad.
Well, there is a free site that helps you get a definitive 2nd, 3rd, 4th… 30th opinion. It is VirusTotal.com . A quick upload of the suspicous file to their site then it is scanned by numerous security programs. This gives you a breadth of opinions on which to base your decision.
Another good way to get additional info, is to search for the file name in Google. This will usually give some definitive write-ups on the file for anything that has been around for awhile.
Of course if you are in the Gainesville, Florida area… you can always contact me for a second opinion on your trojan, virus, or other malware.
