You should scan files on Virus Total to verify whether or not they contain a virus. They use more than 60 AVs to do a scan. If a couple of major AVs see an infection, it is probably true. Jotti is another good online scanning service, but they only have about 20 AVs to scan something. I wouldn't trust any other online scanners.

I can't read the graphic--it's too small. Anway, when I was working signatures at Clam AV and didn't want to execute a file that might contain malware, I relied upon these AVs to tell me of an infected file: Avira, Bitdefender, Eset, Kaspersky, and Sophos. If 2 of them saw an infection, I believed it. They all had their own scan engine and were widely used, including business. They are still like that.

When one or two AVs spot something as infected and the rest of the AVs do not find any infection, it is a pretty good bet that it is a false positive detection. Look especially at these AVs: Avira, Bitdefender, Eset Nod32, Kaspersky, and Sophos. If 2 of them see any infection, it is probably a real infection--otherwise there is no infection. Why these 5 AVs? They are big companies with lots of resources, they are used a lot by businesses, they do not use someone else's scan engine, and other AVs use their scan engines.

Always check files with Virus Total--we at ClamWin can not help you decide whether or not there is an infection.
