Jotti
Jotti's malware scan is a free service that lets you scan suspicious files with several anti-virus programs. You can submit up to 5 files at the same time. There is a 250MB limit per file. Please be aware that no security solution offers 100% protection, not even when it uses several anti-virus engines. All files are shared with anti-virus companies so detection accuracy of their anti-virus products can be improved. We are not interested in names, addresses, or other information providing insight into the identities of our visitors, but we do log and use some of the data you provide. We recognize that privacy is important and we want you to completely understand what happens with the information you send to us. We store files you send in for scanning and share these with anti-malware companies. We do this to help anti-malware companies improve the detection accuracy of their security products. We treat your files confidentially.

NoDistribute
Select your file in order to scan your file with over 35 anti-viruses. The results of the scans are never distributed. Feel free to create and use temporary mail addresses for free. For your own privacy and the privacy of your files, you may not want to share the contents of your files with the antivirus companies. We use an API from a reliable provider (VirusCheckMate) which has been around since 2014. If you are interested in their services, then you can find about more about them at VirusCheckMate.net. Since our launch in 2013 we have not distributed the results of a single scan. You're of course free to run your own tests on our service to verify that the results aren't distributed. Every day we receive thousands of views on previous scan results and new file scans. It is partially a free service as you receive 3 scans per day. We would however appreciate if you could support the service by purchasing a scan key.
