I thought you said you were an expert? Tongue
ESET is one of the main ones and I would recommend it above others on your list.

I would agree on that one. Virus Total, and NoVirusThanks are the only 2 I ever use, because they are reputable multi-scanners.

I agree virus total is the best but ESET is still up there and is fairly reliable.
I don't think you're an expert at all now. Smile

VirusTotal is the best, if you're not testing your piece of malware.
Btw, I've got some Scan4You accounts with unlimited scans for sale, anyone interested?

ESET is just a singular scanner, there are multi-scanners in that list that are way better for scanning files online. It could be a part of the list, but he said that he only made the list based on the ones that he's used, and which ones he's found most effective.

There's better free scanners in this list that are more commonly known than that in my opinion. Why you would have to pay for a scan is beyond me.

The only problem is that they share your files..

Wrong, you uncheck the distribute file checkbox to disable it from doing that. I know theres an option on NoVirusThanks for that.

Code:
[ ] Do not distribute the sample
