Online File Scanning Websites

     Almost all of us download a stuff or two over the internet almost everyday. So how do we make sure those stuff are not infected? Not something unpleasant to our system? Of course we use our Anti-malware tools and others. But what if our Anti-virus software can't detect the anomaly in our things? To make sure of it, one of the best way is to upload it to an online file scanning website.

     Here's a list of online file scanning websites. These websites allow you to upload a file and have it scanned by their bunch (if not complete) of anti-virus applications FOR FREE. Just look for their upload button somewhere in the page. (Check the links in your browser's status bar to make sure my links does not direct you somewhere else.)

  NoVirusThanks
  VirusTotal
  VirusChief
  VirScan
  Filterbit
  Jotti Viruscan

     Those websites delivers the files to Anti-virus companies for further assessment*, so in case the Malware attached in your file is still undetectable, sooner or later, it will surely be. There are a lot of other same websites out there that I may not have mentioned here, though their services may just be the same. In addition, almost all Anti-virus companies have their own such service so you may want to check 'em in their own websites.

*NoVirusThanks have an option to not to distribute your file to AV Companies.
