    Hi,

    I have been trying to check a file at http://virusscan.jotti.org/ for two days.
    Nothing seems to get done. It goes from uploading to ready to scan to server extremely busy, but nothing else happens.

    Today I have been connected to virusscan.jotti.org for over twelve hours straight. Is this normal?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Ann

    Hi Ann,

    Just went thru the exercise at jotti which works for me.

    I submitted a very small .exe file with the results shown in the attachment.

    Need ActiveX to be allowed.

    How big is the file being submitted?

    Regards - Charles

    Hi charlesvar,

    I am using Firefox and do not know if it uses Active X.

    10 MB is the size of the file.

    Thank you

    Ann

    Try it with IE which is what I used.

    As far as I know, FF needs an ActiveX plugin.
