Virus Check Help Needed?

Could someone download this file and see if it really has a virus?

http://wpepro.net/index.php?categoryid=4&p13_secti...

I've looked around, and the answers are nearly all "yes its fine" but i'm still cautious.

Hey, you can never be to sure can you. Better to be safe than sorry.

And, also, how do you give 10 points. Coz if I get a damn old decent answer (correct) i'll give you 10.

    Try this, it's been working great so far

    Microsoft Safety Scanner

    So you think your PC has a virus? The Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software.

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To rerun a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    The Microsoft Safety Scanner is not a replacement for using an antivirus software program that provides ongoing protection.

    For real-time protection that helps to guard your home or small business PCs against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software, download Microsoft Security Essentials.

    You want us to download a possibly infected file and run it on our computer instead of yours? Hmm... Let me think about this one real hard for a minute... I think I'd rather your computer get a virus than mine, sorry.

    LOL Tool.

    Norton says:

    Hacktool.wpe

    is a virus

    This could be a false positive because of the nature of the beast.

    I myself, would NOT use....
