[QUOTE="Valentin N, post: 46010, member: 43"] My list. Look at the name - if it only contains for numbers, such as 92678.exe then it might be a malware Look at the the file ending - a file should only consist of one file ending, such as .exe, .jpg and never of two file ending such as .jpg.exe, .avi.exe and so on. Ask this: Should the file be executive? - executive files have .exe has ending but unexecutive file should never have .exe as ending (double file ending) such as pdf - pdf.exe, word - .doc.exe, avi - .avi.exe, jpg - .jpg.exe and so on.
