Scan Files Online With 22 Antivirus Without First Downloading to Computer

By 7 Comments

novirusthanksMost of the time if we want to know whether a file contains virus or not is either by downloading the file to our computer first and then let our installed antivirus scan the file or upload the downloaded suspicious file to Virustotal or other independent online antivirus website for scanning. This method involves the risk of getting infected since you have to download the file first to your computer in both the cases. I think this process is very risky, even though I am having a security suite installed but I also know that none of the security suites available in the market are 100% effective against all viruses, Trojans, malicious scripts etc.

I found NoVirusThanks which can scan files with 22 antivirus engines without first downloading it to my computer. NoVirusThanks, a website that offers free service to analyze your file with 22 Antivirus Engines and will report back the analysis result has now included a new feature to scan web address.
