    Well, if you didn't grab one of the free licenses for SafeReturner.... I'm sure you didn't grab BugBopper..... so, what about this:

    Virus.org Rogue File Scanning Service


    The second spot goes to Virus.org Rogue File Scanning Service. UI is similar to VirusTotal. Perhaps the only significant difference it has with VirusTotal is the service load. When I went there, the load was quite high. It would have been at the top spot (since it supports files that are more than 10 MB) if its service load was less than 50% on average.

    • I tested the site in: IE6, IE7, Firefox 2, Opera 9.21, Safari 3 for Windows
    • undetermind file size limit, though it accommodated a 39.8 MB file.
    • Scans from 18 antivirus programs including McAfee and Trend Micro
    • Service load ~70%

    Jelson, thanks again.

    I got SafeReturner license, but don't have it installed currently.

    BugBopper - now what's that?

    The Virus.org service looks good, but unfortunately it is down with no updates whatsoever on their blog (). It seems they are out of business.

    Both Virustotal & Jotti have 20mb file-size limitation. While Kaspersky has 1mb limitation (what the heck...1mb )

    Left is Dr. Web which I just tried. looks good. It scanned file of size more than 20mb, see below:

    There was a promo for it back in July. Here's some verbiage from the page above:

    BugBopper's approach is to suspect files it has not seen, and send them to our lab for instant analysis.
    ....
    We scan with multiple scanners and use sandbox results to decide if a file is malware. And we publish the results with pages on individual malware files like and malware names like
    For example, I just ran a scan today of recent files I've downloaded. It uploaded 48 files for analysis and flagged one: iphider_4.9.exe. It was flagged by BugBopper and Norman[6.5].

    The log file has a link to report both on the malware category and the file itself. I suspect it's a false positive: I downloaded it from the developer after I won a license in an ABC giveaway.

    The url to the report is . You'll note the url is based on the file's MD5 hash.

    Several hours later, I reran the scan on the same directory of recent downloads and it only considered 1 file as unknown => all the files uploaded earlier are no longer unknown and none were flagged.

    They also have a submission as well:

    Submit a File for Analysis

    Have a suspicious file you want us to examine? Upload it using this page, and we'll check it while you wait.

    Click Browse, to find the file on your machine. Then click Send File, to submit it for analysis.
    There's also a that allows you to search for reports by it's MD5, SHA1, or SHA256 hashes.
