File Virus Scan

Scan uploaded files with ClamAV and return a malware detection report.

About File Virus Scan

Before you open or forward a file from an unfamiliar source, it helps to know whether it is clean. This tool scans an uploaded file with the open-source ClamAV engine and reports whether any known malware signatures were found.

Upload the file and wait for the scan to finish. The result is a clear verdict - clean or infected - and, if something is detected, the name of the signature that matched. ClamAV's database covers a wide range of viruses, trojans, and malicious documents.

Signature scanning catches known threats, not brand-new or heavily customized malware, so treat a clean result as reassuring rather than a guarantee. For anything sensitive, combine this check with caution about the file's source. Uploaded files are scanned and then removed automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Which engine does the scan use?

ClamAV, a widely used open-source antivirus engine with a regularly updated signature database.

Does a clean result mean the file is definitely safe?

It means no known signature matched. Unknown or zero-day malware can still slip past any signature scanner.

What file types can I scan?

Documents, archives, executables, images and more - upload the file and the engine inspects its contents.

Is my file kept after scanning?

No. Uploaded files are processed over HTTPS and deleted automatically a short time after the scan.

Will it remove a virus?

No. The tool detects and reports threats; it does not clean or modify your file.
