Is this reliable or a roque scanner?
« on: January 04, 2008, 09:36:51 PM »
I saw this: http://www.virscan.org/

Is this a reliable multiscanner or fishy?
Who to comment?

Both Dr. Web and LinkScanner report nothing, but nothing better than Alwil team - which appears there - to drop a word about the service. For sure they have contacted Alwil team.
