Switeck Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Get decent antivirus software that scans it.Try AVG for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 but just because your scan is negative, does NOT mean that the file you downloaded is NOT malicious.At best such a scan proves that it might use malicious codeing that is not yet known to your antivirus.
