Scan File Online with 24 Antivirus Engines for Free
Some people think that one antivirus software isn’t enough to ensure that a file is completely free from viruses. Therefore, you might have seen someone installing more than one virus on his or her computer. Another real proof is there are also quite many questions asking about installing or using two or even more antivirus applications. Perhaps, this situation is just one of the existing reasons for NoVirusThanks to provide 24 antivirus engines to scan file for virus online for free.
Beside letting you upload a file from your computer, NoVirusThanks also has a feature called “Scan Web Address“, a feature that allows you to scan a downloadable file before you download it. If any of your friends happen to be paranoid about downloading anything from internet even though they have one good antivirus installed within their computers, then you should let them know about this service.
Now, let me show you how to use this “Scan Web Address” feature.
How to scan file online with NoVirusThanks:
- Find any URL that you want to scan. For an example here, let’s take the download link of WinBin2Iso that I have posted here a few days ago. Visit WinBin2Iso download page or simply copy this link.
- Copy the link location and paste it to the “Web Address to Scan” box and click the “Submit Address” button.
- Wait for the scanning process. When it is finished, you’ll get a detailed report on the status of the file if it is infected or not.
The result of WinBin2Iso scanning is that the file is infected. Still, you need to take a look more carefully at the report before you agree that it is really infected. As you can see from the screenshot below, only one antivirus application that detects WinBin2Iso as a suspicious file. I don’t know what you will do with WinBin2Iso after you view the report, but I certainly will download WinBin2Iso without doubt since only one antivirus among 24 antivirus engines that says it is infected.
Notice that the maximum allowed size for a file to upload is 20 MB. In addition, the scanning process of a zipped file may take longer.
