Online Multi Anti Virus Scanners?.

<< < (3/3)

Ordstrin:
IMO the chances of a virus scanner picking up a virus inside a split archive is slim. It'd require the virus to be small enough to be in a single part of the archive (1 file).

I'd expect very few, if any, virus scanners to pick up a partial virus; the reason behind this opinion is that they probably hard code against that sort of thing as it'd make false positives too numerous.

Of course I'm no expert, just a lowly jack-of-all-trades.
