Hello there

I have seen many people flagging a post saying it is a virus. They strictly believe what their anti-virus detects is true. Instead of verifying if it a virus or not they come to the mod owners post and post it is a virus i am flagging you for this. I am seen many posts with such a comment. People please verify if the file is a virus or not upload it to virustotal and check if it is a virus or not. Don't create false hoaxes about the file being a virus and damage the persons reputation.

What would you feel if your in the place of the mod owner and people start flagging your post as a virus.

If your antivirus is detects a file as a virus don't post it in the owner's post and flag right away

Goto to virustotal and upload the file there and see if it shows if the file is a virus or not

You this scale to find out if a file is a virus or not

If 1 antivirus detects it as a virus then it is a false positive
If 5 antivirus detect it as a virus then proceed with caution
If 10 antivirus or more detect it as a virus run in sandbox mode
If 20 antivirus or more detect it as a virus it is definately a virus

The most false positives detected by an antivirus is

Norton Antivirus 2011
Detected 10,172 false positives out of 25,000 files

A report made from virustotal records
