VirusTotal

Worried that the file you're about to download might be malicious?  Have the file scanned with over 60 antivirus engines BEFORE you download it - all with one single online tool.

Just go to VirusTotal and paste in the link of the file you want to download.  Note:  That means the direct link to the file, not the page the file is linked from.   (Right-click the link and select “Copy link address” in Chrome, “Copy Link Location” in Firefox, or “Copy link” in Edge. Check your own browser's Help section for instructions) The file will be scanned and the results will tell you how many, if any, of the antivirus engines had a problem with it 

There are also browser extensions for the service available for Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer.

As always, don't depend totally upon one tool to protect yourself and your computer. Your best bet is to make sure you're getting your programs or files from trusted sources.

Just or Unjust?


You See the World as Somewhat Just


You don't see the world in simple terms. What's just and unjust is complicated.

You believe that justice is sometimes served, both in and outside the courts. But there is plenty of injustice to go around.

You don't expect anyone to treat you fairly or unfairly. You do your best to protect yourself from life's uncertainty.

You consider any justice you receive to be a bonus, but it's certainly not the norm.

Bummed, Not Buzzed

Not a 404 page, but close enough. Found on the TV Buzer page.

Nope, no free honey, not even the sweet link I was looking for.

Different Dead Dog Links

Not different dead dogs, but dead links with different dogs.

Here's one of the Amazon 404 pages;  you can get a different dog by refreshing the page, but they're all on this page: Meet the Dogs of Amazon.

Say what you want about Amazon, it has to be a pretty good place to work that lets you bring your dog...unless you don't LIKE dogs, I guess.

Are You Frank?

Frankenstein, maybe.

You Are Somewhat Frank


You are constantly balancing your deep desire to be truthful with your need to be polite.

Whenever it's easy, you tell the truth. When it's not easy, well, you at least hint at the truth.

You believe that people aren't as into honesty as they claim to be. And not as honest either.

You are an open book with the people you know best, but you you'll tell a white lie to smooth things over.

 I looked at the source of the original email and found this IP#:

182.71.169.4

A quick search gave me this information when I looked up the domain:

Hostname: mx2.combinabpmnet.com
Domain: combinabpmnet.com
Organization: Bharti Airtel
Location: Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi, India


And as I always do, I'm publishing the email addresses for when the spambots will trawl this post and hopefully the spammers/scammers will get loads of scam spam.

But yeah, if I ever win a huge lottery jackpot like this, I'm gonna dole out a half million bucks to random total strangers.

Maybe the spammer/scammers are trying to get enough money together to buy a convenience store?
