PureBasic Forums - English

Hello,

Soon as i will release my beta software, there are many people
who are asking me "virus free??" and i say always yes since i got my system
being updated all the time with AVG Free which i recommends to everyone.

BUT, ya know you can't be sure all the time so i wonder if
there is an online Virus scan services when you upload a file they test it give a report and can be sure they will delete it after.

If you know such services please list them here maybe we can make a list
of online valuable virus scanners to test our system before we launch our software for testing and sales.

thanks!

I can recommend VirusTotal

EDIT: This is how a report looks like for the firefox.exe I'm currently running: Link

Symantec does this through IE/ActiveX.

Here is list of some best online scanners for you:

http://www.virustotal.com
http://www.viruschief.com/
http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus
http://virusscan.jotti.org/
http://onlinescan.avast.com/
http://online.us.drweb.com/
http://old.antivir.ru/english/www_av/
http://novirusthanks.org/

But best one and popular i think is www.virustotal.com.

thanks guys!

the virustotal solution looks very promising
i just wonder if they delete the file after the report, not that i am worried
but their service looks really valuable and good!

this should be in a check list of every programmer, then give the report
to their beta testers.

thanks again .

Reckon PureBasic could be written to make a computer virus? Just kidding... so please noone answer that

I prefer http://virscan.org over virustotal... for one, they allow you to upload a password protected ZIP file (as long as the password is 'infected' or 'virus'). As I usually already have it in that format for submitting to Trend.
