Hi, I'm posting in this area because I couldn't figure out how to make my 2nd post anywhere else.

 

I am  looking for a free virus scan website.  Not just a free trial, but truly free.  Does anyone out there know of any?

Your topic you had is here : https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/795568/can-someone-help-me-with-my-google-chrome-question/

 

This question should have been done here : https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/f/25/anti-virus-anti-malware-and-privacy-software/ Will ask to have it moved when finished.

 

It depends on what you want, here can upload a file or scan a URL : https://www.virustotal.com/

 

This is the most popular but need to let it finish and do what it wants or have to exit and save something it found : https://www.eset.com/ca/home/online-scanner/

 

The 1st online scanner is still up : https://www.trendmicro.com/en_il/forHome/products/housecall.html

 

Is enough.....

Some online scanners will detect existing anti-virus software and refuse to cooperate. In some cases you may have to disable the real-time protection components of your existing anti-virus if you encounter a problem and try running the scan again. If you do this, remember to turn them back on after you are finished.

Thanks Bleepin' Gumshoe for the advice, but I already do that with others I have!

 

By the way, cool name!  :)
