Warning:

VirusTotal is not substitute 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.

Although the detection rate afforded by the use of multiple antivirus engines is far superior to that offered by just one product, these results DO NOT guarantee the harmlessness of a file.

Currently, there is not any solution that offers a 100% effectiveness rate for detecting viruses and malware. You may become a victim of misleading advertising, if you buy such a product under those premises.

Here a example to show the results I did using virus total and all you have to do
is upload your file and wait until it finish then copy & paste the link on your post.

Highly recommend that all uploading post use this free service and hope it put a end to any more viruses.
