Check if a file or link is harmful

You downloaded a file and you do not know if you really should execute this file. You know that the classifications of your local anti-virus-software are not always correct and you want to analyse the file manually or at least get classifications of other anti-virus-software-products for this file. You got that interesting link on facebook and you don´t know if you should click on it. You want to check if this link is dangerous.

Check if a file or link is harmful

Upload your file at http://www.virustotal.com/ . You will retrieve classifications of many different anti-virus-scanners for that file. Important Note: If your file is not classified as harmful by any anti-virus-scanner that does not mean that it really is harmless.

To do a detailled analysis of your file or link, use http://anubis.iseclab.org/ or http://wepawet.iseclab.org/. You will have to wait some minutes for the result but you will get much information about your file or link.
