Help finding online virus scan
I used an online virus scanning site a few months ago and can't locate it now. I believe it was recommended here, but can't find the thread. Anyone point me to the site?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Another one to try is http://www.norton.com. You can do an on-line virus check as well as a vulneralility check.

Free Scans :
Check out McAfee .com for a free trial version of their available condoms for the old hard drive .
I was using Norton untill they missed the boat on the Worm Viruses when they came out .
McAfee is on the cutting edge now and has surpassed most in their capabilities .
Free automatic updates even for the free version which is supposed to be for 2 weeks but if renewed once continues for ever I guess as I have been running it for 6 months .
Do not make the same mistake that many do and try to run two different scans at once as they usually conflict and cause internal corruption to one or both of the programs .

I use this one all the time. It even found one that Norton overlooked once.
