how do you Found a new Hack/Bot is safe?

Nowadays ppl all know that, must scan virus before use the Hack/bot program which been downloaded... because that will make sure it's a safe program and won't harm ur PC. but I wondering which way or AVS is best on this job?

so, what is ur way to make sure whether a Hack/bot is safe?

A) VirusTotal
B) Just scan it by local AVS on PC
C) Read and search other ppl's rating or comments
D) both "A" and "B"
E) both "B" and "c"
F) I dun care about security ....
G) I have my own way (plz specify)



thx for responded with ur choice or new way

Sometimes AV's dont do the trick because the program that steals your account isn't really a virus...

You can look at it that way if you want, but some programs send data to their server with your Login Information, (I've only known of this being done with a proxy though..).

Anyways, if your really worried, just run a packet sniffer ([Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]) on the program you downloaded and see what it's up to.


AV's work fine with some programs, just depends who coded it ;)

You can mostly figure out who tho trust by posts counts, thanks and comments.
If you wonder about a hack or a bot, PM me.

I agree with huseby, again
Check there post count, other releases/posts and comments on the bot

first : scan it with those online virus scanners and your own anti-virus
second : check the user's thanks and the replies from others
third : ask around if its safe or not
