Jotti's Online Malware Scanner
Internet has anything, well, almost anything you may need
for you virtual life. The question is, whether is safe enough to download the
file you found through the search engine, downloaded with the torrent utility,
or got from a friend. It may be infected with malicious code, which will give
you an extra headache instead of offering a solution. Are you scared? If you
have a strong protection, and you are confident you can deal with possible
infection if need arises, you should not be. As a ordinary Internet user, you
are not of much interest for the experienced hackers, more like a subject for scattered
online generic viruses and malware.
However, if you want to be extra careful, you always can
double-check the suspicions file to have peace of mind and preserve your computer
from potential infection. It is always better to foresee and prevent the
security issue than to fix and clean it after the fact.
Jotti’s malware scan is a free online service that enables
you to scan suspicious files with several anti-virus programs to give you the
most reliable results. The service does not require user to login or register
to use it.
Jotti scanners used are Linux versions; detection
differences with Windows versions of the same scanners may occur due to
implementation differences. There is a 25MB limit per file.
Keep in mind that no security solution offers 100%
protection, not even when it uses several anti-virus engines, even though
validation with several detection mechanisms (versus a single one, you might
have on your computer installed) gives you the better chance to evaluate the
file properly.
