Astute Graphics Plug-ins Elite Bundle 3.9.1.7z from teamos. *It is 678MB so I can't upload to Virustotal
Master Collection 2025 from uztracker (which is listed on monkrus's website's list of trackers). It is 37.5GB so I can't upload to Virustotal.

I'm not sure what I should to do to be honest.

Edit: Would splitting the 37.5GB file into 650MB pieces and then scanning with virustotal help? Not sure if downloaded files need to be whole for it to work properly.

This is the results from virustotal (I could only scan 4 files in the master collection without running the iso)

Thank you.

Just run the file against clamav, and you should be able to tell whether or not it's got issues. That's generally what's done in commercial spaces.

Thank you for the advice. Is clamav just another antivirus software?

[–] dastanktal@hexbear.net 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, it's open source antivirus software.

The entire internet practically runs on what these guys do.

https://www.clamav.net/

It has a tool that you can use to scan whatever binary you want and it'll tell you whether or not it's a virus which fits what you need to do

Oh okay, thanks. I don't know how it compares with Eset for example. My antivirus said the files were clean, but the virustotal results are really sketchy.

It's not like traditional antivirus software, it just includes a tool that you can use to manually scan files to see if it has a virus signature, which is all Eset and most virus scanners are doing on the backend. They're also doing what's called heuristics, which is where they're using predictive modeling to try and identify if a program has what they call an attack signature. This does result in false positives, just so you're aware.

All virus total is doing is running a bunch of virus engines like eset and clamav on the back end to see if it triggers anything.

If both your virus software and clamav comes back clean, then I'd trust it.

Would you trust it if the detection is 0, but there are network connections? (contacted domains and contacted IP addresses)
