Online Scanners

   Previously I've described about virustotal.com.This is a good service;the only problem is if its not available(server down or busy).This got me thinking about alternatives (free ones).
   Well I sat on this the previous weekend and started a serious search.I ended up getting many sites.Here too usage is similar to virustotal.com;upload a file and scan.There are a few additional options,these are site-specific:
1.scanner.virus.org-the file size limit is 5 mb.Under advanced scan one can enter the email id to which results can be sent plus there is a option to not distribute the file to anti-virus software companies.
2.filterbit.com-this is still in beta.The maximum file size is 20 mb.This site features a lesser number of anti-virus scanners as compared to other sites.
3.jotti's malware scan-apart from a limit of 15 mb this site has two features:the service load is displayed and the linux implementations of the anti virus scanners are used.
  Well I hope this will be useful..
