You're welcome, it can be a helpful tool for confirmation, etc.
It shouldn't matter which machine is used if you are just searching out information on the MD5, if it has been scanned before (or not). However if you are uploading a file, it would need to be on that system or transfer it to a USB stick which could be connected to any machine and uploaded.
Well, yesterday evening, I tried that link Pondus wrote with my main machine (W7). After ~2 hours without any result, I killed it.
How long will it last normally?
1. The link i posted goes to the MD5 (you posted) search result at VT and as you should see it say No matches
2. Meaning that file has never been uploaded and scanned at VT so you will not get any result
If you had the file (not deleted by MCShield) you could have uploaded and scanned it for a result
As I try to get all that stuff into my old head, I parted your answer into smaller ones. Let me correct
1: After about 2 hours running VT without any result (it said nothing at all, so I killed it!!!), should I have
waited longer?
2:
My meaning was, that the stick was empty and I still don't know, what MCS has done!
