I download a lot files from various Location , but i should i only relay on my antivirus. I have been AVG antivirus fan from last 3 years. I know that Avg Antivirus have good rate of detecting know and unknown antivirus,but there are good coders who can by pass any Antivirus and that makes me think twice should I run the Program.
Its is sad to say most of the newbie users only depend on one antivirus. Most of the newbie think that installing the antivirus only can make them safe on the computing environment. Today i am talking about How to determine the File is suspicious or not. I generally go with two scanning service Virus total and ThreatExpert Submission even I have installed Antivirus on my PC. If Virus total and ThreatExpert Submission says clean to any file , i can be 95% sure that its is clean even other says it is Malicious .
Both the Services have online and Offline service for Looking at the suspicious files.
