Afraid of being infected by a virus?
Have you had some nasty experience with downloading things off the net?
Are you tired of constantly having to spend hours on end to remove some virus because you wanted that new program so badly?
If you are one of the people that has had to deal with this all and are tired of having this happen to you, you could use one of those website applications to scan for viruses, but they just scan the program.
Often, certain programs will not look like a virus, untill actually launched.
That is why I would like to offer my help.
If you send me a download link of a program you're unsure about, I will do my best to download it as soon as possible and not just scan it, but also run it in a sandbox.
While it is opened in the sandbox, I get reports of what the program is trying to do to my computer.
So, if you want to be safe from now on, send me an email with the download link.

Haha, lol. You had your 2 seconds of intelligence now, how do you feel?
Seriously though, not everybody's native tongue is English, and even if it were ... please don't act as if you don't mistype from time to time.
Oh and btw, do you know how to read?
Because I don't recall speaking about making a program? Or is that just me?

AVG IS 2011 Paid ( Otherwise it'd be AVG Free I believe and otherwise I wouldn't be offering this :p ) And no, Sandboxie was something of 40 Euros back when I bought it, lifetime license. As far as I know, a free one ( if it exists ) would work aswell though, as it just needs to be able to create a separate environment.

Or they can just use VirusTotal, NoVirusThanks, Anubis, and ThreatExpert.

Haha, really? Maybe read my whole post and the reason why it's not really that good
I have to edit this a little, those websites will work a lot of the time. But more often than not will they fail ( on these programs ) because they're usually just "lowgrade" malware applications which aren't detected until actually used, as in a sandbox for instance.
The same happened to me with the program I started this thread for. AVG and Kaspersky both reported it as a 100% safe Rootkit, but when I loaded it up in the sandbox both of them spoke differently.

ThreatExpert and Anubis both run the sample in a sandbox and report back what it does. Maybe you should investigate things before dismissing it.
