Proper way to analyze files?

Let's be honest, NO ONE knows here what they do. This forum isn't the FBI lab or the NSA lab, it's mostly a hacking forum. This section is meant for people who want to learn how to protect their computer for everyday use, not how to analyze files like people in CSI. Sorry if my answer is rough, but I think you're asking a little too much here or you don't really understand what this forum is.
Sorry, I just expected people here to be smarter when it comes to stuff like this.
You'd expect certain people with 10k+ posts that spend years on a hacking forums, would know a little more than just saying use Anubis+Sandboxie.

I'm not asking for the exact steps the police does, just a brief explanation on how to properly analyze a file without these public tools.

I'll tell you something : post count, Rep, prestige, award, it means nothing on HackForums. Even if someone have 10k posts here, what tells you there's not 9,999 posts in the Gaming area and 1 post here ? And most people here are kids aged between 14-16 years, so even if they were spending "years" on a "hacking" forum, it doesn't mean they have the knowledge to know how to analyse a file like a FBI forensics.
If you want a Security Software Engineer to explain you step by step how to analyze a file, then you should go in the Reverse Engineering and File Disassembling section. There people will tell you exactly how to analyze a file. But you'll have to know a programming language or even more to analyze the code, that's for sure.

My era of providing technical support and malware removal on HackForums is over, so you can stop PM'ing me about it. Sorry.

Yeah, I'll just PM a friend.
Thanks for the help, anyways.
