Thanks for the Info!
keep them posting
This thread is really good and all, but Avira isn't really a resource hog, Microsoft Security Essentials is the second biggest resource hog right after Kaspersky. Also, VirusTotal.com isn't really a recommended website to use for files, unless you think they are infected and want the file to be distributed. The rest is fine, good job 👍
