  1. Go to to the VirusTotal website.
  2. Click the button to upload the suspected file or program. (you can also enter a url/web address so you don't even have to risk downloading the file.)
  3. Let the website scan the file using dozens of built in anti-virus programs.

If more than about 15% of the virus scanners report it as a bad file, you might want to delete the file and/or not open/download it.
