Regular Tools to Make Your Security Life Easier - II

I ran across VirusTotal.com today. VirusTotal offers the scanning of any file uploaded to their website and does so through the use of multiple A/V products. The site does come with a caveat:
Although the detection rate afforded by the use of multiple antivirus engines is far superior to that offered by just one product, these results DO NOT guarantee the harmlessness of a file.
That should be obvious to anyone in information security, but it's a good reminder nevertheless. This page has a list of the A/V products used to scan the files.
