How to Tell If A File Is Malicious

Hello, I've written an article about How to Tell If A File Is Malicious.

It's meant to be useful to both novice and advanced users and I would welcome any comments or criticisms you have for whether it best meets both requirements.

Thanks.

 

Good stuff, good work.

 

Very nice work

 

Thank you.

Please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, or (gasp) criticisms.

 

My only comment would be that, even with these tools, you can never be 100% certain. Most malware authors run their creations through these and other tools to see if they are flagged. Remember, the bad guys use these tools too

 

I would have thought the option to submit it to Comodo to be analyzed should be quite certain.

Other than that, I do agree with you, although I still think it highly unlikely for the majority of threats.
