    thank you for your reply. However, I am not looking for the online virus check that exams your computer and see if there is any virus. I am talking about the website that connects to different trojan horse/virus engine to exam an online file's safty.

    I've found a few but they all limit the size to 1 MB and such. Hopefully someone will reply soon with a nice thread of an online file checker.

    Would you mind to share one of the sites please? I think 1MB should be enough in general for most cases.

    Are you trying to scan a FFXI hax by any chance?

    hehe not this time. Some unknow stupid idiot sent me an email to my hotmail account with an exe attachement, saying that it was a pic we took together. He also mentioned that if the exe attachement was blocked by hotmail then I can download it from an address he included in the email. The reason he gave why the picture is a exe file:

    "I thought you don't have acdsee in your system, so I made the picture into an exe file. That way you don't need acdsee to view it"

    that's the most hilarious excuse I have seen for a long time. I am excited and very curious to know what kind of virus or trojan horse that file is

    is there any site that allows an online file checking? I don't want to download that exe file since I am afraid even though I don't open it, it will still infect my computer...

    Don't download bots/hacks from unknown sources.
    But most virii/trojan that use keyloggers and the such are just kiddy scripters and so you are generally ok with just Downloading a File and then running it through a scanner.

    As an alternative you could:
    Just not download it since you obviously don't trust the source.
    Go pay for a Virus Scanner that scans packets as they are received by your computer.
    Keep looking for another safer source of the file.

    Link me to it and I'll do it. I have a Virtual Machine set up on my PC (operating system within an operating system) set up for just this sort of thing. Its like a cleanroom basically.

    Or like koga said, you're usually safe as long as you don't execute the file in question, but not 100%.

    My friend downloaded an exe file before and his machine was infected even though he didn't excute it, so I don't dare to try it myself.

    The above is the link to the file Thank you very much.

    Interesting. I wouldn't click that link if I were you, use wget to fetch it.
