How To Get Torrent Scan For Any Malware Before Downloading A File?
Is there any way to carry out a torrent scan way to check if a torrent file has malware or not, before actually downloading it via uTorrent f.e. I only know the VirusTotal site. Is this one reliable? Because each time I passed a link in it, it says that the link/file is safe. So I am not sure if every single link/file I paste on the site is clear and safe or just the web doesn't detect malware well.
The best option for me for torrent scan would be to have a way to check it on the web without downloading 3rd party apps.
For torrent scant You should check the reputation of the site or the comments of the file. Unless someone is using a day 0 attack or an unpatched vulnerability you will be safe. You can't do anything more before you download the torrent. If you wanna check if the torrent has any kind of malware after the download, you should have a sandbox tool and a VM(Virtual Machine) or a dedicated computer for checking the files you have downloaded. You can use an antivirus, malwarebytes, roguekiller... After that, you can upload the files to virustotal and see if one the antivirus detects something in your files.
