Title: Rouge: Virus Total 2010?
Post by: !Donovan on October 13, 2010, 01:52:17 AM

I was just wondering, I stumbled upon something named Virus Total 2010 while searching on google. Is it a rouge antivirus? I couldn't find anything useful except red rated sites when searching on google.

I wonder what happens when you download it with no antivirus software on a virtual machine. ???

I wish I had the memory and the space to do that. :-\

So it's a rouge application. Lets see...
