Hello BHW brothers and sisters,
How's life? I just wanted to share something in our "Member downloads" section. But sadly, the file is 75 MB in size which cannot be scanned by VirusTotal. It does contain some video tutorials on how to use the software, some PDF's and a .exe file. What should I do? Is there any other online Virus scanning service which allows over 64 MB?
Thanks,
RW.

Scan every file apart?

Split your files up in to several posts.

VirusTotal won't be able to detect the virus if the archive is split across several parts. You need to scan only the .exe and pdfs. The best option would be to zip the exe and pdf file in an archive and scan it on VirusTotal. You can post separate links for Videos without VirusTotal. HTH
