Simple Malware Check Tool v1.2 Released!

I released the first version of the program on March 25 and notified several information security related sites and Darknet was one of them. At that time Darknet did not make any news but suddenly in last week, they changed their decision and made a news about a 6 months old software. It was old and got broken (online check was broken due to changes in Virustotal’s site) in 6 months and I did not have chance to fix bugs in a time. Recently massive download attempts forced me to fix bugs and release a new version.

Today I have released v1.2 which includes bug fixes. I highly recommend you to download and run the latest version.

  1. VirusTotal has updated it website, this tool is not work now. Hoping you can make a update for it, thanks!

  2. i tested it is great tool. my question:

    is it possible to scan all the file for example c:\ drive calculate md5 value and submit to virustotal?

    Virustotal will restrict the batch of md5 value?

    1. Hello,

      It is not possible with the current version but I’ll think about adding that feature for the next version (will take 3+ months due to military duty).

      Regards,

  3. Thanks M.S!

    I think I have missed one point, that is a “rescan” option to force to scan again to get the latest result.

  4. I would like to ask, is it possible to have “upload-to-scan” function? I mean when a file has not uploaded for scanning yet, then upload the file to scan and then get the result.

  5. Still have problem in some files. I have replied an email to you.

    Please test it if it is again regular expression problem?

  6. I tested v1.3, but I found some problems on showing the correct names or results. I have sent a email to you with an attachment of the scan results.

    1. I’ll try to prioritize it roynal, nowadays I have been working on writing a new article for my visitors, thanks for your patience :)
