For those that are into downloading executable files from bittorrent, limewire, emule, bearshare, etc, please be aware that majority of these executable files contain viruses.
Two heads are better than one, 32 virus search engines are better than 1: Virus Total is an online virus search engine, just upload any files and it’ll scan it with 32 anti-virus engines (Avast, Norton, MacAfee, Sophos, Kaspersky Lab and many more). The results may vary but it provides a clue on what to expect.
