How to scan Rapidshare files online? ?

Question

Hello everybody, I need a way to scan a rapidshare file online. Because I think it may have a virus and I do not want to download it now because, might be that my computer may get infected... So is there any way to check whether it has some virus or not without me downloading it to my PC?

Answer 1

application files are mostly the virus carriers. e.g. exe/executable files. like in rapidshare, most of them are compressed. viruses will appear once you de-compress them. you can always scan them right after you download it, and it won't harm your computer as long as you don't hit the infected file right away.

Answer 2

You can NOT get infected by downloading a virus just by downloading it.

You have to download AND start the program to be in any danger..You could have 100 programs containing deadly viruses on your computer....but as long as you don't install the programs,then the viruses are dormant.

Just download it,then scan it.There is not way to scan online,trust me.
