I want to add more photos to my folder to use as screen savers but do not want to upload a virus as a result. Where should I go to do it safely or will webroot scan it before it uploads?

 

Anyone???

Hi npimentel64

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

My first question is where are you uploading the photos from?  A camera, a memory stick or card? A web site?

 

Generally speaking WSA scans download/uploads for malware so if you do have any 'contaminated' pictures (although such things are relatively rare as an infecxtion vector when compared to the more usual ones) it should catch them.

 

As a further response on "Where should I go to do it safely" if going to web sites for downloads WSA's Web Threat Filter will check the url/site's reputation against the Webroot Information Network (WIN) which contains the reputational assessment of hundreds of thousands of websites and if it determines that the ones that you are attempting to access have a poor reputation it will issue a warning (which you may override if you wish) so that you can avoid falling into the trap of downloading dubious downloads, etc.

 

Hope that helps answer the questions?

 

Regards, Baldrick
