I'm sure many of you have used or come across this before, but we were chatting in another thread about malware/virii removal, and it reminded me of this tool.
Any-who, BOOKMARK THIS! virustotal.com
You upload a file in question, and it'll run it through 40+ AV engines. I think it also takes email submissions, if you want. It'll also give you a direct link for the results, to share with others or whatever.
Here is the list of AV engines it runs through. Pretty flippin' cool IMHO.
Enjoy!
