How to Easily Find Diagnose if a File or Website Is a Virus

With the preponderance of new e-mail scams coming out each month, it is ever more important to make sure that you know if a file or website contains a virus

Viruses can be sent as attachments, download links, websites, or via services like DropBox, SharePoint, or newer tools like Frame.IO

Hackers will find new ways to send their Trojans so you need to know how to assess these increasingly legitimate-looking files

As always, you will want to first make sure that the e-mail is coming from a legitimate source – so check the FROM ADDRESS and confirm the domain is a company you recognize
