Scan Suspicious File Online with VirusTotal


Do you have a file which you suspect that it has something embedded to it? I’ll share to you a website which scans for a suspicious file. The site name is VirusTotal, a service that analyzes suspicious files and facilitates the quick detection of viruses, worms, trojans, and all kinds of malware detected by antivirus engines.

Please be aware that VirusTotal is not a substitute to any antivirus software installed in a PC, as it only scans individual files on demand. It does not offer permanent protection for the user’s system either.

Here’s a list of antivirus engines which participates in VirusTotal:
